Re: Alignment Devices
The rules do not forbid the use of external devices to align the robot. The blue box in G8 is about delay of match schedule. That is, you may not cause a delay in the match schedule through use of external alignment devices. If you can get your alignment device in and out easily and quickly, it's really no different than if you brought a screwdriver or diagonal cutters and tightened a screw or trimmed a zip tie.
In any case, what does this have to do with velcroing 2x4s to the robot? Any reasonably heavy part that is velcroed in place is likely to be in danger of falling off, and while not expressly illegal, is subject to failing inspection.
