Building a claw post-ship

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Just so that everyone is on the same page here.

WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE – a limited amount of FABRICATED ITEMS that are withheld from the shipping requirements (specified in the 2011 FRC Administrative Manual, Section 5) and retained by the team following the shipping deadlines.

And...

<R24> During the period between ship date and the competitions, all teams may manufacture SPARE, REPLACEMENT, and UPGRADE PARTS, and develop software for their ROBOT at their home facility.
Teams may continue development of any items retained under the WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE during this period, and then bring them to the competition events.

Please note: This is a reference to items fabricated by your team prior to ship. While you may prototype and plan items for use on your robot, fabrication may take place only at events after the ship date. If in doubt, please ask the Q&A or First for verification.
