Re: Were to store practice bot at regional?
Yes, this was quite the hot issue in 2014.
In 2015, teams were required to bring their withholding allowance items into the pits during robot load-in. Going to the trailer or build site after load-in was not permitted. Robot inspectors would ask teams with a significant amount of fabricated items declared as "withhold allowance" to weigh them at the inspection station. A lot of teams fabricated new items using COTS parts and raw materials in the pits or sanctioned on-site machine shops - all completely within the rules.
I suspect the rules will be similar in 2016, as it removes the ambiguity of what items are declared as withholding allowance.
Read the robot rules carefully and plan ahead!!
