We do work on the allowance, but it does limit the teams, instead of allowing free reign on the bot. With some of the withholding allowance we made this year, it took us most of the thursday before a regional to get it properly mounted and tested on the bot. Which costed us valuable practice time. We effectively traded practice time to add more functions to the bot. It would not have been the same "challenge" if we were allowed to work on the bot the whole time.
