Rules Regarding Spare Parts for Regionals

[jamie_1930]

What are the rules regarding the amount of parts you may bring to your second regional and what type? I did a quick scan through of the manual and must have missed it, but any information would be appreciated.

Same as your first, as I understand it. Here's <R38>, which appears to be the relevant rule (bold is mine):

<R38> Teams may bring a maximum of 65 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.

A. Exception: the OPERATOR CONSOLE is not included in the incoming parts weight restriction.

B. Exception: Any competition legal12V batteries and their associated half of the Anderson cable quick connect/disconnect pair (including no more than 12 inches of cable per leg, the associated cable lugs, connecting bolts, and insulating electrical tape) are not included in the incoming parts weight restriction.
