The rules should be more explicitly limited to each team's pit, not merely the "pit area", which could easily be construed as including aisles and the boxes in the Jones Dome which were unassigned due to structural columns. On the other hand, one of our team members worked on another team's robot for several hours in their pit at Bayou, and we don't want to exclude this sort of classic GP behavior. The rule should probably read something like this:

During the event, from load-in on the first day to load-out on the final day, Teams may only produce FABRICATED ITEMS in their own assigned pit area, in the assigned pit area of the target robot for the FABRICATED ITEM, or in the provided machine shops, as defined in the Administrative Manual.

This would allow classic GP assists to new teams, as well as reasonable cheesecaking activity.
