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

).
