Re: withholding allowance??

Two items:

1. This topic is posted in a weird forum. Try Technical Discussion or Rules/Strategy in the future. The Mods can move this for you if you ask them.

2. There is one way to fit 40 lbs in your open bag time. If you build the 10# part completely from scratch while doing out-of-bag time, starting from COTS parts and uncut material - new metal, everything, then it doesn't count against your 30# WA. anything made from scratch during the out of bag time is just like you made it in your pit from raw material.

The warning here is that if you use the whole 30# to bring a mechanism to the event made outside of the unbagged time, you now have NO weight allowance left for ANY other non-COTS spare parts. Raw material does not count for this, but even little brackets you have spares of that you made, or extra wheel spacers, or assembled wheels+sprockets for your drivetrain ALL COUNT.
