Hold on there guys. The change to 65 pounds of withholding was announced in the Team update dated February 16. That is less than ten days ago. The GDC answers in the Q&A were dated the 16th and the 19th. It was the answers from the 19th that you are upset about and according to my watch that was a mere 5 days ago if you include the 19th. You can't make me believe you were planning to keep your robot and ship some parts based on something you knew in your heart wasn't the norm. Considering it occurred just a few days ago as opposed to kickoff, this should not affect your plans or your robot construction. 65 pounds is a lot of stuff to be able to bring with you. That alone is a gift for teams that have been able to work on their robot continuously during the build season and to help teams that have been locked out of their shops due to weather and school closings. Of all the things that have changed over the years, ship date has meant ship your ROBOT. Quite frankly I am going to view the majority of this thread as end of build exhaustion and nothing more. Get some sleep.
