Re: 30 Pound Exclusion Rule

If you bag it with the robot, it is completely legal and does not take up your 30 pound limit. But, If you bring an extra one (or don't make the board until after stop build) all of the fabricated parts must be under 30 pounds. The 30 pounds does not include COTS items, such as your CRIO and speed controller, if they are not attached to the fabricated board. That said, as a third year electrical lead, I would strongly advise against a modular electronics board your rookie year. That is because it is very hard to do and if you spent the same time making your electronics cleaner you would have less stress on competition day. Any other questions?
