To answer your questions

Good Evening Teams,

I’ve heard from Operations that they are getting questions abou the withholding allowance:

• Yes, you may withhold up to 30 pounds of robot parts PLUS the operation console, mini-bot and batteries when you ship or bag your robot on Tuesday.
• Yes, you may continue to work on the 30 pounds of robot parts, the operator console and mini-bot after Tuesday.
• Yes, if you withhold any items, you have to hand carry them to the event yourself (no shipping).  Plan ahead if you have to fly.  Airlines may object to batteries in carry-on luggage.
• Yes this is all explained in the manual.  See R23, R24, R25 & R33.

Also, robot inspection videos are now available on youtube on the FRCTeamsglobal channel.  Initial inspection, pneumatic systems, power on check and mini-bot inspection are all posted.  The videos for mechanical systems and electrical systems are coming soon.
