People seem to be missing an important piece of information here: you can bring 45 pounds of stuff in now, but that 45 pounds includes any ASSEMBLIES. The example of a motor with a pinion is an ASSEMBLY. That goes against your 45 pounds. So does your assembled super shifter, or your pretty piece of wood that is already cut out. In fact, the argument that a piece of aluminum that is cut to a specific length is a FABRICATED ITEM and would count is pretty valid too.
Let's be fair here. There has been lots of snow, but remember that, at one time, we had to SHIP the robots in crates.
