Re: Velcro Usage

There already is a thread arguing about the rope, but you are correct reading into that rule where it specifically references damaging the arena. Velcro is legal on the robot internals. We've used it to secure the router to our robot for many years.

You are also correct in that traction devices only applies to wheels/whatever other propulsion methods for standard play. This would make metal climbers illegal, which would be far too restrictive.
