Re: 30 lb Withholding? for rookies?
Yesterday team FRC1625 posted a relevant question to the Q&A. That question has been answered (emphasis mine):

Q. if hypothetically you have and assembly with cots (jags and motors) and it weighs 37 pounds and you weigh the cots to be 9 pounds so the net fabricated weight is 28pounds. do you have to take the cots parts off to bring it into competition?
A. Teams may bring up to 30 pounds of Fabricated Items items to the competition. COTS parts are not relevant to the 30 lb allowance and may be brought in any number to the competition. However, per the definition of Fabricated Item, once any Component has been modified (including assembly to other COTS items) it is no longer a COTS item and is now a Fabricated Item. If the COTS items were removed from the larger assembly and otherwise unmodified, they would be considered COTS items.
