The Vex Challenge Homepage is at:

But the offical competition rules are password protected. Good luck getting the password. I have put in a number of requests and gotten nothing.

The VEX pilot challenge rules are password protected. But the will most certainly have changed by next year. Basically the rules are:
Only use 3 kits worth of parts (you can use 4 PWM extensions though, and only 1 robot controller, which limits you to 8 motors/servos).
The only non-kit parts you can use are rubber bands (which they supplied, but any rubber bands should do), and the tranperancies(which are for your team #).
You may not change the color of ANY of the pieces aside of the transperancies (this includes welding, brazing, painting, ect.)
You may not use glue, but you CAN used loc-tite (but that stuff melts plastic, so be careful)
Size maximums, 24" by 24" by 18" (vertically)
