Re: weight withholding allowance question

Dick,
[R26]
Teams may bring a maximum of 30 lbs of Fabricated Items to each competition event to be used to repair and/or upgrade their Robot at the competition site. The Operator Console and any battery assemblies (see[R03]-A) are not applicable.

That would suggest that COTS items removed from fabricated parts are not included in the 30lbs. However, if you modified any of the COTS items, i.e. machining on the shaft of a CIM, then that part is no longer a COTS item.
