Decorations that visually mimic Field Elements, or could otherwise interfere with an opponent’s Vision Sensor, are considered functional and are not permitted. The Inspector and Head Referee will make the final decision on whether a given decoration or mechanism violates this rule. The Triball may be placed on top of other Triballs that are already in the Match Load Zone if necessary, e,g., if Triballs are already covering the entire Match Load Zone foam tile region. Note: The time periods in VAIC are referred to as the Isolation Period and the Interaction Period. The VEX AI Challenge Appendix will be released in an upcoming Game Manual Update.
Anyone who is earning or has earned credit toward a high school diploma, certificate, or other equivalent during the six (6) months preceding the VEX Robotics World Championship. Courses earning credits leading up to high school would satisfy this requirement. Efficiently coordinate and optimize the execution time of various robot behaviors to minimize the cycle time required for Striker to score a Triball. Components from the VEXplorer kit that are not found in modern VEX V5 kits are not permitted. These include (but may not be limited to) electronics, wheels, non-standard gears, and plastic connectors. Alliance Captain – One of the Teams with the privilege of inviting another available Team to form an Alliance for the Elimination Matches . See . If there are any conflicts between the Game Manual and other supplemental materials (e.g., Referee Certification courses, the VRC Hub app, etc.), the most current version of the Game Manual takes precedence.

R12> Motors are limited. Robots may use any combination of VEX V5 Smart Motors (11W) (276-4840) and EXP Smart Motors (5.5W) (276-4842), within the following criteria: If a Student leaves a Team to join another Team , still applies to the Students remaining on the previous Team . For example, if a Programmer leaves a Team , then that Team’s Robot must still represent the skill level of the Team without that Programmer . One way to accomplish this would be to ensure that the Programmer teaches or trains a “replacement” Programmer in their absence.
Teams must use the latest official VEXos firmware updates, found at https://link.vex.com/firmware . Custom firmware modifications are not permitted.
Understand the realities of the VEX V5 Robot construction system. For example, if a Robot could hover above the Field for a whole Match , that would create loopholes in many of the rules. But... they can’t. So don’t worry about it. To help determine if a Robot is a “separate Robot ” or not, use the subsystem definitions found in . Above that, use common sense as referenced in . If you can place two Robots on a table next to each other, and they look like two separate legal/complete Robots (i.e., each has the 3 subsystems defined by ), then they are two Robots . Trying to decide if changing a screw, a wheel, or a microcontroller constitutes a separate Robot is missing the intent and spirit of this rule.
SG10> Enter the Neutral Zone during Autonomous at your own risk. Any Robot who engages with the Neutral Zone during the Autonomous Period should be aware that opponent Robots may also choose to do the same. Per and , Teams are responsible for the actions of their Robots at all times. Some rules include Violation Notes in red italicized text to denote special circumstances or provide additional clarifications. If no Violation Notes are found in a given rule, then it should be assumed that the above “default” definitions apply. In the case of Trapping , if an avenue of escape becomes available due to changing circumstances in the Match . Either Robot has moved at least two (2) feet away (approximately 1 tile) from the location where the Trapping or Pinning count began.This rule also applies to Robot rules. If a component’s legality cannot be easily / intuitively discerned by the Robot rules as written, then Teams should expect additional scrutiny during inspection. This especially applies to those rules which govern non-VEX components (e.g. , , , etc). There is a difference between “creativity” and “lawyering”. Strength of Schedule Points (SP) – The third basis of ranking Teams . Strength of Schedule Points are equivalent to the score of the losing Alliance in a Qualification Match . In the event of a tie, both Alliances receive SP’s equal to the tie score. If both Teams on an Alliance are Disqualified, the Teams on the not Disqualified Alliance will receive their own score as SP’s for that Match . Continuing to play other portions of the game (e.g., defensive maneuvers, Elevating) without attempting to remove excess Triballs for the majority of the Match Given the above definitions, a minimum Robot for use in any VEX Robotics Competition event (including Skills Challenges) must consist of subsystems 1 and 2 above. Thus, if you are swapping out an entire subsystem 1 or 2, you have now created a second Robot and have Violated this rule.
This includes microcontrollers that are part of other VEX product lines, such as VEX Cortex, VEX EXP, VEXpro, VEX RCR, VEX IQ, VEX GO, or VEX Robotics by HEXBUG. This also includes devices that are unrelated to VEX, such as Raspberry Pi or Arduino devices. SG5> Stay away from nets on the Goals. Becoming Entangled with the net on either Goal is considered a violation of and/or , and will result in a Disablement . Causing an opponent to become Entangled with the net is considered a violation of and, at a minimum, will result in a Disablement for both Teams . Updated to clarify that Teams may adjust the starting position of Alliance Triballs per Contained in this manual are the rules that shape VRC Over Under. These rules are designed to simulate the constraints that will outline any real-world project. They are intended to promote creativity without punishing innovation. They are balanced to promote fair play while encouraging competition. Teams are permitted to use the Wi-Fi capabilities of the Vision Sensor in Team pits or outside of Matches . However, the Vision Sensor must have its wireless transmitting functionality disabled during Matches .All Violations of this rule (Major or Minor) will result in the Autonomous Bonus being awarded to the opposing Alliance . During this action, a Drive Team Member’s hand may temporarily break the plane of the field perimeter. This momentary interaction is an exception to rule . Excessive, unnecessary, or unsafe actions while introducing a Match Load may be considered a Violation of and/or at the Head Referee’s discretion. 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. During the Autonomous Period , Drive Team Members will not be allowed to use their V5 Controllers. As such, Teams are responsible for programming their Robot with custom software if they want to perform in the Autonomous Period . Robots must be programmed to follow control directions provided by the field controls (i.e., ignore wireless input during the Autonomous Period , disable at the end of the Driver Controlled Period , etc.).
