Re: withholding allowance??

R19 states, in part:
Quote:
The WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE is a static set of items that shall not exceed 30 lbs.
The word you want to pay attention to there is "static". That means that you can't swap parts in and out of your bag during unbag periods for district events like I think you want to do. You can do work during those unbag periods, any anything fabricated during those periods is fair game, but anything fabricated while the robot is locked up, or anything that does not get locked up when the bag is locked, needs to be included in the withholding allowance.

The intent of the 6 hours of unbagging for district teams is to replace the practice day that regionals have. At a regional, a team brings in their 30 lbs to start, then have the day to work on the robot. They don't get to bring in 30 lbs, remove 10 lbs, then bring in another 10 lbs.
