Re: Redabot Goes Home

It is completely legal,


14.12.2
Quote:
4.12.2. Drayage Company Regulations
Teams cannot take their robot/crates home from any event. ...
But what defines a robot? Lets go to the FIRST Manual to see their definitions.

FIRST Manual Section 8 - The Robot (Too long to quote so here is the direct link)
If you read section 8 they provide rules regarding your robot but not a specific definition, therefore the following criteria minimum must be met to be counted as a "robot".
The Robot Controller mounted to some material, that runs off of a 12V battery and a 7.2V backup battery and that fits your class. Also you might need to have a power distribution block and the 120amp circuit breaker if you wanted to get into the rules a bit more.
