As being from Michigan and having dealt with the District Event Model for a long time now I can tell you there is a big distinction between "Robot Access Period" and "30lb Withholding Allowance". A "Robot Access Period" is a 6 hour period between events that allows you to open the bag and work on the robot as a whole and fine tune/fix anything you need to do, also this time can only be used in the 7 days leading up to an event your team is registered in and does not have to be used in one whole day, it can be split up into multiple days as long as it only equals 6 total hours.

As for the "30lb Withholding Allowance" what this means is that you can withhold any 30lbs from your robot on stop build day and work on it freely. An example would be that last year my team chose to use this on our shooting mechanism so it would be ready for competition.

If this didn't clear this up for you please feel free to message me and I'll clear anything up for you.
