Fix-it Window and Mechanisms

I tried searching for the answer to this, and the manual seems to conflict itself, so maybe somebody can help me.

Let's say we build our robot and several spare mechanisms for competitions. Let's use an arm for example. We build a complete second arm (mechanism) and include it in the shipping crate <R12> and ship it with the robot.

In our first regional, the arm on our robot is damaged and we replace it with the spare arm (which is identical and was shipped with the robot) and complete the regional. However, we want to fix our arm during the Fix-it window. So, following rule <R13>, we bring our damaged arm (mechanism) home and repair it.

However, we are not allowed to bring mechanisms to the next regional event, so how do we get our mechanism back to the event? Are we only allowed to make the pieces that make up the mechanism, and then have to assemple it at the regional?

Or are we on GP to say that it is a "Fix-it Window" piece?

Just curious...
