Of course, I've always felt the 45 lbs is upgrade parts. 1 to 1 replacement parts shouldn't count since they are functionally equivalent to parts you bagged. (This isn't how the rule is, it's just how I think it should be)

Our week 5 competition venue is only 2-3 miles from our workshop, so we have access to it. Does this mean we either have to A) offload every part except for the ones we withhold to a storage facility miles away, B) lock everything up and give the key to the lead inspector until the regional is over, or C) bag every part that isn't withholding and have a lockup form so we don't have access to it during competition weekend?
At what point do you say a team doesn't have potential access?

How is it unfair that our facility happens to be within walking/subway distance of the venue? I'm just pointing out a flaw in the wording of this rule.
