Re: Trailer Pin Hitch

What we mean is, there are materials in the KoP that the trailer will be connected to (I'm not sure on the correct terms) that must be permanately fastened onto the robot. How would that not count towards the weight of the robot? Will they weigh them separately and then subtract that from our total weight?

We are under the impression that we cannot alter ANY parts regarding the trailer connections, unless we are mistaken with the parts that are permanately on the robot. CAN we use other pieces (altered pieces of equipment, for example) that are to stay on the robot or must we use the unaltered pieces in the KoP?
