FTC Pemitted Materials??

[Greg Shaw]

I am a rookie FTC mentor and I am wondering were to go to find a list of all allowable FTC materials. Obviously, Tetrix and Lego stuff is permitted. I have seen photos of FTC robots with PVC so I assume is that PVC is allowed. What other materials are permitted. Where do I locate the FTC allowed material list on the FIRST website. Thanks for your help.

The game manual has a list of the allowed materials. Go to usfirst.org, click FTC, click Game and Season info.

Game Manual, rule <R5>. I do believe you specifically want to look at part C of that rule--but the rest would also be good reading.
