I wonder if The Aluminum Falcons had to weigh their new shooter and such this year after people saw them changing it in competition??

Did you have a withholding at FLR this year?

I can't remember. I don't think so, our inspectors never really checked.

Ours was weighed as we were walking in the door during load in, not during inspection.

No we were never weighed. The only thing that was weighed that I brought in was our sponsor panels but that was in Waterloo, not FLR.

You shouldn't have had to do this.

The OPERATOR CONSOLE, BUMPERS, and any ROBOT battery assemblies (as described in R05-A) are exempt from this limit.

2012 they were not exempt.

At FLR all items were weighed in during the load in excluding items such as bumpers and batteries that were exempt. All items I believe were weighed even if they were clearly underweight so that the inspectors would know how much you had brought in and then could add more weight to that later in the regional.

Rob Heslin (LRI) can probably speak to this better than I, but FLR RIs weighed every withholding allowance as it came in the building, whether Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. I assumed this was common practice.

We also weigh withholding allowance as it comes through the door, rather it be Wednesday or Thursday.
