We a team broke their robot practicing during an access period, are they not allowed to take a 15 pound component from their practice robot and replace it?

How I would interpret this rule is before a competion (and by extension, before your robot access period). you must define (read, "choose") up to 45 pounds of spare items. Even if you never write the list down and show it to anyone, the important thing is that you have to choose what is going to be in your 45 pounds before the start of the competition (or access period).
By my interpretation it doesn't matter where the parts are located but they must be chosen before the event. (ie. "My spare parts for this event are a 30 pound device we brought with us and a 15 pound device that is sitting in my hotel room that I will get if I need to.)
