Probably a silly question but is this allowed in the college competition?
Are we allowed to use green balls in the construction of the robot? Can they be a part of the structure etc.
I know that this rule here points out about competition support just wondering if it applies to game elements.
<R5> Robots may be built ONLY from Official Robot Components from the VEX Robotics Design System
unless otherwise specifically noted within these rules.
a. During inspections if there is a question about whether something is an official VEX component,
a team will be required to provide documentation to an inspector, which proves the
component’s source. Such types of documentation include receipts, part numbers, or other
printed documentation.
b. Only the VEX Robotics Design System Components specifically designed to be used for Robot
construction are allowed. Using additional components outside their typical purpose is against
the intent of the rule (i.e. please don’t try using VEX apparel, competition support, or other nonrobot
products on a VEX Robotics Competition Robot).
c. The packaging, manual binders, styrofoam, cardboard, plastic bags, software CD’s etc. from
the VEX kits are NOT included and CANNOT be used for robot construction. Only the VEX
robot parts themselves are allowed.
