no it does not. at the Seattle competition they are very picky.. last year 120.1 pounds we took off .3 pounds of material(with 3 inspectors watching us) then weighed it again at 120.3 pounds. missed two matches...........................
But should we "discriminate" based on how long your team has been around? If you think about it, FIRST's goal is to inspire students, right?
