Up for interpretation. I'd be inclined to say illegal, but there is nothing to say whether it is or isn't legal in the rules, so it could be legal. This is by the letter of the rules.

But, the spirit of the rules is that you only bring 25 lbs of fabricated spares unless they are in your crate. So by this reasoning, illegal.

This reminds me of a Q&A. Someone asked if they could use a servo and onboard sensor to keep track of state. As I recall, the GDC responded that the proposed method would be a violation of the spirit, but not necessarily the letter, of the rules.

I think that this could go either way. It depends on whether the letter or the spirit is being enforced.
