There are a lot of questions about what is allowed on the minibot. The rules are very simple:

On the hostbots, any COTS (commercial of the shelf) parts are allowed with some restrictions (look at rules R18 through R33).

On the minibot, there are much tighter restrictions. The list of allowed parts/ materials is in R92. However, COTS parts made of raw materials listed are not allowed, only the material in raw form for you to make parts from. A yoyo is not a raw piece of polycarb. It is a COTS part made of polycarb. Thus it is not allowed.

Simple - right? Just read the rules
