A
Robot
may not expand beyond its 11” x 20” starting area constraint at any time during the
match. However,
Robots
are permitted to expand beyond their 15” starting height constraint at
any time during the match.
Note: Teams must remain within the 11” x 20” area throughout the match; this includes the full
range of motion by any appendages. An arm that extends out of these constraints while
operating during the
Match
would make the
Robot
illegal.
Figures 9 & 10 – A Robot which starts the match with the legal size constraints, but then as the arm rotates, becomes too large.
<R5>
The starting configuration of the
Robot
at the beginning of a
Match
must be the same as a
Robot
configuration inspected for compliance, and within the maximum allowed size.
a.
Teams using more than one
Robot
configuration at the beginning of
Matches
must tell the
inspector(s) and have the
Robot
inspected in its largest configuration(s).
b.
A team may NOT have its
Robot
inspected in one configuration and then place it at the start
of a
Match
in an uninspected configuration
<R6>
Robots may be built ONLY from Official
Robot
Components from the VEX IQ product line,
unless otherwise specifically noted within these rules.
a.
During inspections if there is a question about whether something is an official VEX IQ
component, a team will be required to provide documentation to an inspector that proves
the component’s source. Such types of documentation include receipts, part numbers, or
other printed documentation.
b.
Only the VEX IQ components specifically designed for use in
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 IQ apparel, team or event support materials,
packaging, field elements or other non-robot products on a VEX IQ Challenge
Robot
).
