Product Information

However, if a Team is still unable to find an answer to their question after closely reviewing the relevant rules, then every Team has the opportunity to ask for official rules interpretations in the VEX Robotics Question & Answer System. These questions may be posted by a Team’s Adult representative via the RobotEvents account that is associated with that Team . When evaluating if a Violation was Match Affecting , Head Referees will focus primarily on any Robot actions that were directly related to the Violation . Yes, you can! You can choose between lots of hair and beard styles. You can also change the size of each body part, change the hair, beard and skin color, as well as adding some tattoos! What kind of items can you find? Double-Zone – An Alliance status. An Alliance meets the definition of being “ Double-Zoned ” if both Robots from the Alliance are in the same Offensive Zone . To be considered “in the Zone” for the purposes of this definition, Robots must meet the following criteria: Internal power sources (e.g., for a small blinking light) are permitted, provided that no other rules are violated and this source only provides power to the non-functional decoration (i.e., does not directly or indirectly influence any functional portions of the Robot ).

All possible functional Robot configurations must be inspected before being used in competition. This especially pertains to modular or swappable mechanisms (per ) and Match starting configurations/sizes (per ). This rule does not apply to 3D printed plastic parts. 3D printed parts are not permitted in the VEX Robotics Competition, except as non-functional decorations (per ) or as custom License Plates (per ). A collection of parts which theoretically have a total surface area of 288 in 2 , but cannot be nested onto a single 12” x 24” sheet, would not be legal. See Figure 36.Field Element – The foam field tiles, field perimeter, white tape, Elevation Bars , Match Load Bars , Goals , and all supporting structures or accessories (such as Alliance Station posts, field monitors, etc.). Legal plastic types include polycarbonate (Lexan), acetal monopolymer (Delrin), acetal copolymer (Acetron GP), POM (acetal), ABS, PEEK, PET, HDPE, LDPE, Nylon (all grades), Polypropylene, and FEP. SG4> Each Robot gets one Alliance Triball as a Preload. Prior to the start of each Match , each Alliance Triball / Preload that is used must be placed such that it is: Examples of permissible moves may include, but are not limited to, illness, changing schools, conflicts within a Team , or combining/splitting Teams . Some events may choose to provide field power for V5 Wireless Controllers. If this is provided for all Teams at the event, then this is a legal power source for the wireless remotes.

Not okay for Teams in an Alliance to intentionally play beneath their abilities to manipulate the Match results.The intent of and is to limit Robots to the air pressure stored in two reservoir tanks, as well as the normal working air pressure contained in their pneumatic cylinders and tubing on the Robot . Teams may not use other elements for the purposes of storing or generating air pressure. Using cylinders or additional pneumatic tubing solely for additional storage is in Violation of the spirit of this rule. At least two (2) corners of the Triball are within the Goal (i.e., are under the Net and have “broken the plane” of the outer edge of the PVC pipes that define the Goal volume). Use a loop to code the robot to repeat the above actions for a set number of times to score three Match Load Triballs to the Offensive Zone. T6> Robots at the field must be ready to play. If a Team brings their Robot to the field, it must be prepared to play (i.e., batteries charged, sized within the starting size constraint, displaying only the correct Alliance -color license plates, etc.). All Violations of this rule (Major or Minor) will result in the Autonomous Bonus being awarded to the opposing Alliance .
