A slanderous use of not only the rule book, but GP as a whole. Part of understanding gracious professionalism, is to also be PROFESSIONAL, which your post contained none of.

Before accusing someone of being "un-GP", maybe you should take it upon yourself to look up the actual rules the OP was asking about.

<R33> Teams may bring a maximum of 30 pounds of custom FABRICATED ITEMS (SPARE
PARTS, REPLACEMENT PARTS, and UPGRADE PARTS, plus all WITHHOLDING
ALLOWANCE items) to each competition event to be used to repair and/or upgrade their
ROBOT at the competition site. All other FABRICATED ITEMS to be used on the ROBOT
during the competition shall arrive at the competition venue packed in the shipping crate or
lockout bag with the ROBOT.
There are two exceptions to this rule:
A. the OPERATOR CONSOLE is not included in the incoming parts weight restriction,
B. the MINIBOT is not included in the incoming parts weights restriction,

Emphasis mine.
