Re: Play the "2009 Withholding Allowance" Game!!

1) Unless damage was done to the bolt (ex. it was stripped or rusted), then not in the allowance. The nylon insert in a nylon bolt is not modified when using it, so the bolt is in an unmodified out of the box condition.

2) This is not in the withholding allowance unless this is the final length it'll be used in.

3) This is not in the final form to be used on the robot (unless the team uses tubes of epoxy as ballast...), so not in the allowance.

4) Same deal as #2

5) Depends on whether this is the final form of the part or not

6) If this was in the final form used by the previous robot, its illegal in the first place. Barring that, if its in its final form, in allowance, if not, then not.

7) This is iffy. It is in 'as new' condition if the reconditioned correctly, just a slightly smaller diameter from wear. I am going to say in the allowance though since it has been modified to the final form used on the robot.

8) Driver controls exempt from weight requirement, so, for all intents and purposes, the answer here does not matter.

9) If you are using an orbit ball on your robot, in the allowance, otherwise, not.

10) Same as above.

Summary: 1) No 2) Maybe 3) No 4) Maybe 5) Maybe 6) Maybe 7) Yes 8) Doesn't matter 9) Probably No 10) Probably No
