Re: Were to store practice bot at regional?

Keep in mind that an outsider to FIRST just reading the manual would almost certainly consider using the 45lb withholding allowance to overhaul the robot on Thursday as against the "spirit" of the stop build rules. You're supposed to build a robot in 6 weeks, why should you be able to keep working on a large part of your robot far past ship date?

If you look at the rule in question, it appears like you're allowed to bring 45lbs of fabricated parts in to the event, and can't change what counts as that 45lbs as the event goes on. Does it really matter where those parts came from?
