Could some please explain the withholding limit? We know the basics: 30lbs fabricated and unlimited on bought items and COTS items. But what does that really mean to a rookie team?
For example: Say we wanted to raise our bot up a couple inches. We would need a couple machined parts probably weighing 1lb max, some spacers, and some extra chain. Now the chain would be broken eventually so that's around 4 lb max of chain. So 5 lbs max fabricated we would bring, and some tools.
Is that legal? can we say that met the fabricated parts limit and COTS/bought limit? Also, are tool numbers unlimited on what we can bring? And can we cut/drill/sawsall anything in the pit? How/where would we do the fabrication on the actual machine and would we have to get it re-inspected everytime?
Can someone answer these questions for a rookie team? And don't refer me to threads. I know how to use a search bar.
