I don't recall any rules about deformation of minibot pieces, so I'd like a second view/opinion on this.
Do we have clarification on what polycarbonate pre-forming shape can be?
Unlike the aluminum which specifices
Quote:
H. Aluminum sheet, 90° angle, u-channel, tube, bar,
nothing is specified for polycarbonate. So I assume we can use tubing or other preformed shapes.

Also, what constitutes a rubber band. Are 'O' rings , flat belts allowed?

What materials can cord be made out of?
