A. These items would count towards the 45 lb limit in R18.
I think this pretty much solves the problem.
If the GDC counts a old robot against the 45 pound with holding, they would consider a new robot the same way.
So now lets stop  and go play Aerial Assist

Sure, can I just say that the GDC needs to pull it's collective head out of a certain part of their anatomy? That's possibly the second stupidest ruling I've seen recently from them (the dumbest being batteries counting against withholding which they did resolve).
By this logic any robot built for demo purposes that a host team may want to have outside to interact with students would count against their weight. What if for part of my RCA I want to bring my FTC team's robot for display in my pit?
