Re: Illegal?

I know that the heat shrink is legal, we use it every year. The inspectors never have a problem, they just complain that we have sharp plastic edges and wiring mounts. As far as the lights if they aren't green or bright enough to irritate the drivers in the control station then they are legal. For more info on the legality of the lights go to the FRC sight and see the rules and specs area you should find anything you are looking for in that area. I like the electric box idea that people have brought up... Next year we are going to make extension for the tether and the program connectors on the RC that way we don't need to worry about the accessibility of the ports then we are going to mount a piece of lexan towards the outside of the robot so its easy to tether the robot or program it. We have found that to be the best way.
