Re: Practical 3D printed parts

Please make sure you note: Per R5, a handle like that is not considered part of your battery assembly, and must be included in your robot weight in all configurations used. Personally, I think it's a great idea to have a good way to carry the battery, but if you leave the handle on the battery when it's in the robot, it becomes difficult for inspectors to handle something like that within the rules as they are written. If that's the intent, I would recommend asking how it should be handled (pun not intended) on the Q&A.
