There is not much lawyering going on here. Its more like complaining. I don't like these rules but I have understood since kickoff. That does not change the rule nor does my complaining affect my teams compliance with the rule. We made some extra fab parts during the season and bag them with the robot. we probably wont even need the original 30 pound limit.

What concerns me most, is that if you want to borrow one of my assembled versa gearboxes, I will have to dismantle it before I give it to you. If you have a wheel with riveted tread that can replace one of my broken wheels, I cannot accept it as a replacement even if you remove the tread and rivets. Its unfortunate but that's the reality of the rules. And yes there is no gray area. team cannot share fabricated items outside of the original withholding allowance.
