You've defined a set of fabricated parts (presumably less than 45 pounds total weight) that is static (i.e. on your list)) to which you have access at the event. In a sense, the rest of the practice bot is just a "carrier" for the listed fabricated parts (and for any COTS parts on the practice bot too, in my opinion).
Which is what I felt should have been the logic to begin with.


Buuuut, under this logic I can bring my demo bot with 0 parts "listed" and it shouldn't count? I can use it to shoot poof balls at young kids and get them interested in robots? A use, I might add, entirely within the goals of FIRST above and beyond the competition.

(Again, devil's advocate)
