Help: Electronics out of Bag and Tag?

[GeeTwo]

The most important thing is that if you re-assemble a control board and bring it to your first event, the entire weight of that board including the COTS components, is part of your 30 pound withholding allowance. If you bring in a COTS sized piece of plexi, spools of wire, crimp connectors, and the COTS roboRIO, motor controllers, etc., it's all COTS stuff and does not count against your 30 pound withholding allowance. You may find it most expedient to go somewhere in between, especially if you are planning to add or work on a manipulator or two between now and your first event. Also note that the COTS rules are slightly more restrictive for withholding than for beginning of season.
