Re: Fix-it Window and Mechanisms
As I read <R16> and <R24>, you would be allowed to take the arm home, repair it, and bring it back to the following competition event IF it weighs less than 25 pounds. If it weighs more than 25 pounds (or you are also repairing other parts back at home, and the sum total of all the parts exceeds 25 pounds), then you would have to remove enough mechanisms and/or components from the arm to bring it under the 25 pound limit. If this is not possible, then you could take the arm home but you could not bring it with you to the next competition event.
