Victor Motor Controller Pin

Is it legal to remove the pin from the Victor motor controller for FRC competitions?:confused:

Re: Victor Motor Controller Pin

Are you talking about the brake / coast jumper? Or something else?

Read <R55> in full to find the answer to your question.

<R55> The control system is designed to allow wireless control of the ROBOTS.

(Emphasis mine)

I would strongly advise against pulling the pin on a victor, since that arms it. Once you throw it and the handle falls off, it's going to explode and fragment in about 7 seconds.
