Re: Withholding Allowance

But you get 30 lbs, not 120lbs. Just because you don't use it doesn't mean you can bring all the parts you want. 30 lbs is 30 lbs.

I have seen teams pull parts from a practice bot in the parking lot before, I've even seen teams question each other on pulling parts from practice bots in the parking lot. The 30 lb limit is there to make you chose what you bring just in case something goes wrong or you plan to add a new component. Either way it's a choice you have to make. Bringing a full backup robot takes away a lot of the restrictions that make this competition challenging.

There have been threads on this every year I can remember. The rules aren't different this year.
