Witholding Allowance Rules
After the build season, we can keep 30 pounds of "fabricated" parts after putting away our robot. Are motors that were just attached to other pieces considered fabricated? Are motors included in this 30 pound limit?

Re: Witholding Allowance Rules
Any COTS item like motors that are part of an assembly are included in the withholding limit.
Separate COTS motors like new in the box except for wire connectors unattached to anything else would not be counted. |

Re: Witholding Allowance Rules
Withhold allowance is a perfect example of what we should eliminate bag and tag.

Re: Witholding Allowance Rules
To piggy back on this, how are the COTS rules interpreted with respect to gearboxes? My assumption is that an assembled versa planetary is not COTS because you can't buy them assembled, but a PG71 with motor is COTS, regardless of whether or not we bought the motor and gearbox separately because it is possible to buy them together?

IMHO, it is hard to have an assembled gearbox not be Fabricated because it usually requires attaching a motor. The gearbox with a motor are the exception. |

We were also wondering if we need to clean the grease off of the gears, or if it is sufficient to disassemble the gearbox, but leave the grease? I miss the old 'SPARE PARTS' rule. Thanks |

Re: Witholding Allowance Rules
I say bring the gearboxes disassembled to the competition, assign a few students to assembling them during the practice rounds. After the competition, include the gearboxes in the bag with the robot so you can use them at the next competition without having to assemble them.

Re: Witholding Allowance Rules
Not quite. While COTS items with wire connectors added are counted as COTS for purposes of including on this year's robot (Exception R13 D), they are not exempt from being included in the withholding allowance (R18 only has two stated exceptions, though bumpers are an implied exception to bag and tag under R15).
