Can we use a Metal raingutter on our FTC Cascade Effect robot?
 

Would the rules allow us to use them?

Based off rule R04.C, i beleive you can.

"COTS parts and assemblies may only have a maximum of a single degree of freedom. It is the intent of FIRST
that teams design and build their devices to achieve the game challenge. Assemblies of COTS components, such
as linear slides, and gearboxes are allowed while a pre-fabricated gripper assembly designed to grab the game
elements is not. Holonomic wheels (omni or mechanum) are exempt from the one degree of freedom
limitation."

A gutter has no degrees of motion, therefore it should be allowed.

Of course. you DO realize that ChiefDelphi is not an official source of rules, right?

Yes I do. I didn't really have any other way to find out besides showing up and running a risk of being Disabled.
