Re: Were to store practice bot at regional?

My understanding of the hypothetical versaplanetary problem is as follows.

1) Are the gearboxes pre-assembled? If yes, they are modified, in a way that is intended to be for the robot in question, and should count towards the 45 pounds. If not, or if they are disassembled back to original condition, they are COTS. Even so, "modifying" a gearbox by putting it together isn't something I as your competitor would grouse about, unless...

2) they are intended to be swapped out interchangeably to modify the performance of the robot, especially from round to round, based on the desired function per each round's competitive requirements. If so, you are treating them the same way other teams might treat interchangeable appendages. In this case, they should all definitely count towards your 45, and I WOULD grouse about it.
