There is an important fine point here. You can take a mechanism
home for repair/upgrade, but you may only bring parts (subject to
the 25 pound limit for all of your fabricated parts) back to the event.
The mechanism that you might have repaired/upgraded must be
brought to your next event as parts, and then assembled in the pit
at the event.

You may not remove the robot from the venue. That's about it for restrictions.
Bring as much raw material as you want. Bring all the portable tools you want. Bring blueprints, assembly drawings, jigs, templates, etc. You can rebuild your robot completely if you have enough time.
