Re: YMTC: Redabot brings 24 lbs of spare parts
A slightly different question for you (Q&A is down right now , but I will ask it there later):

If an assembly is made up of a mixture of FABRICATED PARTS and COTS parts, do you just count the weight of the FABRICATED parts if you bring the assembly or do you count all of it? The rule is not clear:

<R24> Teams may bring a maximum of 25 pounds of custom FABRICATED ITEMS (SPARE PARTS, REPLACEMENT PARTS, and/or UPGRADE PARTS) to each competition event to be used to repair and/or upgrade their robot at the competition site. All other FABRICATED ITEMS to be used on the robot during the competition must arrive at the competition venue packed in the shipping crate with the robot.

So do we have to disassemble the assembly to remove the weight of the COTS parts and bring those separately?

I know last year the rule was different because we did not have a weight limit and no fix-it window. So assemblies that were not COTS were not allowed at all and you had to bring all your spare parts in pieces.
