We have allowed an additional 5 lbs at the Gitch in the past, but this year we decided not to do so, as most other off-season events do not allow you to do this. On the other hand, we aren't going to be overly strict about ensuring that robots aren't over 120. As long as you aren't going over by more than a pound or two, you should be fine.
Overall, I thought FIRST did a great job with the rules this year - very simple and very clear for the most part. However, something is always going to fall through the cracks (and I don't mean that in a bad way - people need to know that it's practically impossible to do something perfectly). - Chris Hibner [more]
