Is it legal for use on the bot, how much? Can't seem to find this in the rules.
Thanks

Re: Carbon Fiber?

It is legal, you can use up to 120lbs worth.

Or $3500 worth, whichever comes first.

Re: Carbon Fiber?

A lot of people tend to forget to read the glossary, and that's where a lot of questions can be answered. Be sure to read everything :)

It's not stated "you can use carbon fiber"...just as it isn't explicitly stated "you can use metal." Both metal and carbon fiber are COTS items.

From the glossary (Section 1.6):

Quote:

COTS – a “Commercial, Off-The-Shelf” COMPONENT or MECHANISM, in its unaltered, unmodified state. A COTS item must be a standard (i.e. not custom order) part commonly available from the VENDOR, available from a non-team source, and available to all teams for purchase.
