What must be shipped with the robot? Compact RIO?

that should be under 30 pounds, but weight it just be be sure...

Jaguars are COTS items. You can bring as many as you like (or can afford). Other teams might appreciate borrowing one, should the spare parts desk run out!

The cRIO is a COTS item as well (unless loading custom software changes the cRIO to a FABRICATED item). [Sorry Eric, I'm too lazy to check Q&A! ]

If your bring your cRIO, Jaguars. Victors, PDBs, etc. to competition as a partially-assembled control system, it is now a FABRICATED item and is subject to the 30 lb limitation.

The "blue box" under <R24> specifically states FIRST wishes to afford teams the opportunity to continue control system development. You should plan exactly what to ship and what to retain. You need to remain within the constraints <R33> without having to spend too much time reassembling at the event.
