Robot Access Period

R15 states that
Quote:
All ROBOT elements (including items intended for use during the competition in alternative
configurations of the ROBOT), with the exception of the WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE per R18,
BUMPERS, and COTS items, must be bagged and sealed, by 11:59PM local time on Stop Build
Day, February 23, 2016
and section 5.5.1 of the Admin Manual states that
Quote:
During the Robot Access Period, teams may perform any activity they would normally do during the build
season, including practicing with the robot.
If a team fabricates parts during their Robot Access Period and bags those parts with their robot, does the weight of those parts count towards the WITHOLDING ALLOWANCE? The Admin Manual implies that they would not count against the WITHOLDING ALLOWANCE, as fabricating parts and bagging them is an activity normally done during build season. However, R15 clearly states that if a ROBOT element is not bagged by the end of the build season, then it is a part of the WITHOLDING ALLOWANCE.

Is there a part of this that I'm missing? Which manual takes precedence?
