If they are COTS parts then there is no issue. If they are non-COTS parts and it is during robot drop off there is no issue.

Based on a reading of the new rule (emphasis mine):
Quote:
"Entering” a ROBOT (or Robot) in to a FIRST Robotics Competition
means bringing it to the event such that it’s an aid to your Team
(e.g. for spare parts, judging material, or for practice). Spare
FABRICATED ITEMS may be brought to the event in a bag or part of a
WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE.
This rule does not prohibit teams from bringing in FIRST LEGO®
League or FIRST Tech Challenge robots for the purposes of awards
presentations or pit displays.

I would argue this precludes it being anywhere near the venue, even if it is in the trailer and only COTS items are removed. While that WAS legal, I don't think it is anymore. It didn't say bringing it INTO the event, it just says bringing it.
