For now. In the past when bad weather has affected many teams in an adverse manner, they have increased it to 50 LBs. Don't assume that will happen this year, but you never can tell.

I noticed in an older version it said 45 lbs.

Our entire HOSTBOT comes in at less than 100lbs (without thus-mandatory IMPROVEMENTS), so I'm thinking that an increase in WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE will result in a massive decrease in VACATION TIME for this mentor...

*sigh*. I did sign up for this, after all... And I do love it so!

Well... when you get your banebots order, that should go up a bit.

Actually, last year, it started at 40, and was increased to 65.

This year, it started at 30. No increase is foreseen.

How does the withholding allowance work between competitions? I couldn't find any mention of it in the rules. Like, if you brought 30lbs of manufactured parts in to your first competition which you then bag with your robot at the conclusion of the competition, can you then bring in 30 new lbs of parts for the next competition (limited, of course, by the 120lb hostbot limit)?

I believe it is 30 lbs per event, but I'm not 100% sure.
