<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).

c. Products from the VEX EDR or VEXpro product line cannot be used for robot construction.

Products from the VEX product line that are also cross listed as part of the VEX IQ product line

are legal.

d. Mechanical/structural components, aside from those excluded below, from the VEX Robotics

by HEXBUG product line are legal for robot construction. However, electrical components from

the VEX Robotics by HEXBUG product line are illegal for robot construction.

The following mechanical and structural components from the VEX Robotics by HEXBUG

product line are excluded

i. All rubber bands

e. Official Robotics Components from the VEX IQ product line that have been discontinued are

still legal for robot use. However teams must be aware of <R6a>.

f. 3D printed versions of VEX IQ components are not legal for use.

<R7> Official VEX IQ products are ONLY available from VEX & Official VEX Resellers. To determine

whether a product is “official” or not, consult www.vexiq.com

<R8> Robots are allowed to use the following additional “non-VEX IQ” components:

a. Teams may add appropriate non-functional decorations provided that these do not affect the

robot performance in any significant way or affect the outcome of the match. These

decorations must be in the spirit of the event. Inspectors will have the final say in what is

considered “nonfunctional”.

i. Any decorations must be backed by legal materials that provide the same functionality,

(i.e. if your robot has a giant decal that prevents Game Objects from falling out of the

robot, the decal must be backed by VEX IQ material that also prevents the Game

Objects from falling out.)

b. Rubber bands that are identical in length and thickness to those included in the VEX IQ

product line
