Remember that COTS parts and Bumpers are not included in this 30 pound withholding allowance as also stated in R15.

Example 1: A team creates 10 lbs of FABRICATED ITEMS after Stop
Build Day. During their first Robot Access Period before their first event,
they install these items on the ROBOT and bag them with the ROBOT.
The team may bring up to 20 lbs. of FABRICATED ITEMS (which may
be items removed from the ROBOT before bagging at the end of the
Robot Access Period) with them to the event.
Example 2: A team creates 30 lbs of FABRICATED ITEMS after Stop
Build Day. During their first Robot Access Period before their first event,
they install these items on the ROBOT and bag them with the ROBOT.
The team may not bring any FABRICATED ITEMS (including any initially
bagged on Stop Build Day and removed during the Robot Access
Period) with them to the event.

Good examples under R18 are above. In that case, no. If 10 lbs are put on in the robot access period, you can only bring 20 lbs to competitions
