The team must remove it from one and use it on the other so it is really not a set on either assembly. In Tristan's case there are 2 motors involved which is wrong.

Steve,
There were robots that weighed in with unassembled attachments. Those teams in most cases were not sure whether they were going to use the attachments or not. We told those teams that officially, if they made changes in the completed assemblies they were required to weigh in a second or third time to insure all competition parts were weighed in total. To my knowledge the teams complied with that request. There is a point that GP must enter into the game and I fully expect participants to reweigh when changes are made. Teams expect that their alliance partners and opponents are legal to compete.
