    Default R36 Clarification - What counts for 40lbs

    I am trying to ensure that any and all of the items I bring to an event comply with R36. There are some items which we are not clear whether they count toward our 40 lbs or not. The question is the same for all 8 of these items. Does this item count toward the 40 lbs allowed to be carried into an event by R36?

    1) Unmodified KOP item which is commercially available
    2) Unmodified KOP item which is not commercially available
    3) Unmodified KOP item which is bolted to a COTS
    4) 2 or more COTS items assembly with no modifications (eg. COTS gear on COTS shaft, COTS gearbox 1 bolted to COTS gearbox 2)
    5) Tapped rover wheels
    6) Tapped rover wheels assemble to an unmodified COTS part (eg. Sprocket)
    7) Roller chain cut to a given length
    8) KOP motors with connectors attached (no modifications to shaft, gearbox, etc.)

    Unmodified COTS items that have not be altered (i.e. are still in their "out of the box" condition) may be brought to the events in unlimited amounts, under Rule <R35>.

    COTS items that have been assembled, attached, connected, or wired to each other in any way form a MECHANISM, and are considered FABRICATED ITEMS. All FABRICATED ITEMS brought to the competition events must fit within the WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE.

    COTS items that have been altered from their "out of the box" condition (e.g. drilled, tapped, cut, painted, welded, bent, mangled, machined, coated, heat treated, manufactured, flattened, folded, spindled or mutilated) are, by definition, FABRICATED ITEMS. All FABRICATED ITEMS brought to the competition events must fit within the WITHHOLDING ALLOWANCE.

    With these considerations, the cases mentioned would be:

    1) KOP & COTS
    2) KOP
    3) FABRICATED ITEM
    4) FABRICATED ITEM
    5) FABRICATED ITEM
    6) FABRICATED ITEM
    7) FABRICATED ITEM
    8) FABRICATED ITEM
