I totally understand what you are saying. But, FIRST seems to be going out and specifically labeling what are components, parts, and mechanisms to make what we can and cannot bring with us a spare very clear.

And, it seems to me they say we can bring mechanisms home to make spare parts for that mechanism, but don't say anything about bring a repaired mechanism back.

It just seems confusing to me that they say we can bring mechanisms home to repair, but they don't really say you can bring them back. If you can only make spare parts for that broken mechanism, you would be better to ship the broken mechanism after noting what you need to make to fix it and then bring the new spare parts or components to the next event to fix it.

Thanks for the reply.
