Re: Illegal?

One thing with CCFLs breaking is that the small filament inside the tube is what is glass, the tube itself is acrylic and designed to contain the glass and electrical elements inside in the event of damage. As long as the CCFL is positioned securly and in a place that it will not take strong enough impacts to break the acrylic tube, and didn't interfere with other CMUcams, then its use on a competition bot would likely be legal*


*As I tell everyone I give advice on legality, I'm not an inspector nor am I am member of the GDC, so I would recommend strongly that next year you look at the rules then ask in the official Q&A to be sure of the legality of anything.
