Huh?
<R41 from 2008, R31 in 2007, and R29 in 2006>
Teams may bring a maximum of 25 pounds of custom FABRICATED ITEMS (SPARE PARTS, REPLACEMENT PARTS, and/or UPGRADE PARTS) to each competition event to be used to repair and/or upgrade their ROBOT at the competition site. All other FABRICATED ITEMS to be used on the ROBOT during the competition shall arrive at the competition venue packed in the shipping crate with the ROBOT.
The weight limit has varied somewhat over the years (40lb in '09, 65 in '10, 30lb in '11-12), but it's quite old.
