Re: Were to store practice bot at regional?
Quote:
A. You can't exchange parts throughout the event B. You must decide what you will bring before you start the event If the intention is A, then a practice robot in the parking lot is fine, and you can replace stuff as it breaks, as long as you don't rip more than 45 lbs of manufactured parts off it. As far as I'm concerned, if its COTS, then you can take whatever you like. If the intention is B, a practice robot in the parking lot that you take stuff off as it breaks would be illegal unless perhaps you kept a list of what you could take off your practice robot,. Again, COTS doesn't count and you can go to your practice bot(or anywhere, for that matter) and rip as much COTS off as you like. For the shop being in the venue or 5000 miles away, this seems entirely irrelevant. You can use a static(defined either in A or B) 45lb set of fabricated materials. I think its entirely fine even to go into your shop. Your chairman's presenters can practice, or you can work on or view CAD, or you can even fabricate stuff to bring in as witholding to your next event. In addition, you can grab as much COTS stuff as you like. You CANNOT manufacture items that you put on the competition robot at the competition its currently at. As for the giving manufactured parts to other teams thing. We'll use the example of blockers, if the blocker were created at the event or bagged with a robot, you can do anything you want with it, (providing it passes inspection, modular parts, etc). If the blocker was brought in with witholding, I see it okay if the team that brought the blocker gives it to someone on their alliance, and then the team gives it back to the team who built it after their match. The team who built it can then redistribute it to someone on their alliance in a new match. I see this as okay as the team that gains the most from it is the team that used it as part of their witholding. *I'm not trying to find manual passages that back me up, I'm just trying to look at the spirit of the rule ** Can someone do a QA for "If I bring a practice robot to an event and leave it in a trailer, removing parts from it as they break on my competition robot, but I never remove more than 45lbs, would I be violating 'static' in R18?"
