4.2.1 R8
ROBOT parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, cause an unsafe condition, or interfere with the
operation of other ROBOTS.
Examples of items that will violate R8include (but are not limited to):
A. Shields, curtains, or any other devices or materials designed or used to obstruct or
limit the vision of any DRIVERS and/or COACHES and/or interfere with their ability to
safely control their ROBOT
B. Speakers, sirens, air horns, or other audio devices that generate sound at a level
sufficient to be a distraction
C. Any devices or decorations specifically intended to jam or interfere with the remote
sensing capabilities of another ROBOT, including vision systems, acoustic range finders,
sonars, infrared proximity detectors, etc. (e.g. including imagery on your ROBOT that, to
a reasonably astute observer, mimics the VISION TARGET)
D. Exposed lasers other than Class I.
