R35 and Springs
Would the use of a spring to help balance a rotating ball intake be legal according to R35?

Re: R35 and Springs
R35 Non-electrical sources of energy used by the ROBOT, (i.e., stored at the start of a MATCH), shall
come only from the following sources: A. compressed air stored in the pneumatic system that has been charged in compliance with R79 and R80, B. a change in the altitude of the ROBOT center of gravity, C. storage achieved by deformation of ROBOT parts, D. closed-loop COTS pneumatic (gas) shocks, and 2016 FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION || GAME MANUAL || Section — 4 Robot || V0 || PAGE 23 © 2015-2016 FIRST® All rights reserved. E. air-filled (pneumatic) wheels. I would define spring energy as energy stored by deformation of a ROBOT part, so yes, that is legal. |

The biggest concern that inspectors will have concerning springs is R9. Make sure that they are made safe at all times. |
