Alright, this has got me all fired up, so please cool me off here.
please read the following from bills blog:

Tomorrows Team Update will include the following: Rule , as amended in Team Update #11, permits the TEAM to utilize a 65 pound WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE. The choice of which FABRICATED PARTS of the ROBOT are included in the WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE is entirely up to the TEAM.
Please note that a ROBOT is an assembly of FABRICATED and COTS parts. Teams attending traditional events may not bring fully assembled ROBOTS to the competition. Teams attending bag & tag events may not bring a fully assembled ROBOT that has not been bagged. For both traditional and bag & tag events, teams may bring up to 65lbs of FABRICATED parts for use on the ROBOT, even if their ROBOT weighs less than 65lbs.

So under the withholding allowance, teams are only allowed to bring FABRICATED PARTS to the competition. So lets say i was working on component X, component X used a CIM motor, do i have to ship the CIM motor and not have one to test component X with?
Secondly. Reading the GDC's post here:

There are no restrictions on what can and cannot be shipped when asked directly about keeping the entire robot. Is the GDC going back on their decision?
