Re: Legality of witholding control system post ship

Here, have some concrete clarification. This is from an old PM of mine with Dave. If he minds me posting it, I'll delete it the moment there's a complaint.

No problem. Hey, quick question. From what I see in the rules about the fixit window, if our drive train is >40 lbs, and we ship the CRIO in the crate, theoretically we can keep the drive train and get drive practice. I understand this isn't in the spirit of FIRST, but any insight into this?

Quote:
With the withholding allowance, you can keep 40 pounds of anything from your robot that you want. it doesn't matter if it is the control system, the drive system, the manipulator or whatever. That choice is up to you. If you decide to use your withholding allowance to keep your drive system, there is nothing wrong with that. If anyone tells you that it "isn't in the spirit of FIRST" you can tell them that they just don't get it.
