We bagged with 50lbs or so of ballast (machined for bolt holes & therefore not COTS steel), knowing we won't use it all... but can't bring it as WITHHOLDING. It'll all go back in the bag when we lock up again after unbag time & events, unless Frank surprises us all with a change to the bagging rules after this discussion. We want the ability to pop the individual plates in and out as we add/remove mechanisms, so in the bag they went.
But for example, can we take a fabricated part off your bagged robot on a Thursday of a regional and take them back to your workshop on Thursday without the intent to re-bag them after the regional?

Not if you intend to bring them back into the regional's venue that weekend.

It is not our intent to bring those parts back into the regional! Thank you for the help!
