Hello Teams, welcome to the 2009 "Withholding allowance" game.

The game is simple. Listed below are 10 items that a team might carry in to the competition with them. Your task is to choose whether they fall under the withholding allowance rules for 2009 or not. Creative explanations are encouraged!

Item List:
1) A nylock nut that has been threaded on and removed from a bolt.

2) Spare wire (not a whole spool, just 10 or so feet cut off of it)

3) A tube of 5 minute epoxy that has been opened. there is some cured epoxy crusted on the nozzle.

4) Approximately 1/3 a sheet of Lexan cut because a full sheet takes up too much space in the pit.

5) Some material for bumpers that were left over after cutting what is on the competition bot.

6) Some scraps of metal tube leftover from some previous build season (unknown year).

7) A rover wheel that has been used adn reconditioned per the "restoring damaged wheels" document on usfirst.org.

8) A driver station modified per the "grounding the driver station" document on usfirst.org.

9) The orbit ball from the KOP that has a broken strap riveted back together.

10) A vision target for a practice trailer made with the colored fabric in the KOP.

Good luck and have fun!
