[FTC]: Zip ties

[HRobotics]

Hello,
We were wondering if it is legal to attach zip ties to our conveyor belt (or anywhere else)

Thanks

Hmmm...

I wonder what the FTC Manual (http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles/Community/02FVC/FVC_Documents_and_Updates/2007_Quad_Quandary/2007_FTC_QQ_Manual_Section_4A.pdf) has to say about that?

Yes its perfectly legal.

Btw was it you I was talking with at the Toronto practice matches?

i think as long as they are the ones from the kit

i think as long as they are the ones from the kitOr identical ones, as allowed by <R5> part c.

I apologize for being cryptic in my earlier response. An FTC team that is just starting may not have received guidance (from FIRST or from local mentors) on where to get the information they need.

Thanks for the replies
We did check the manual (that was the very first thing we did :) ) but it said that we could use zip ties to organize our cables, and didn't mention if they were / were not allowed for other things. We had seen some teams at a practice competition use zip ties on their conveyor so we just wanted to double check that it is ok!

Good luck to you and your teams,

I believe that the same size Bar-Loks are also allowed.

Andy Grady rocks. But no, he didn't put me up to it. I am a mere mortal by day, but by night, I patrol the forums and defend.... TEAM BAR-LOK!!!!!!
