Re: witricity legality?
I see no FIRST rule that would prevent the use of Witricity.
That being said, you still have a lot of things to overcome
1> Matching resonators for transmission and reception. Any impedence mismatch will greatly reduce your transmission efficiency.
2> Each device would need a separate frequency to transmit power.
3> You would need to make sure you do not induce any current in any robot frame on the field, to do so would break FIRSTs rules.
4> You would need to make sure you do not interfere with any signals on the field.
5> Power losses would limit your robot and multiple transmitters in series (Battery to dist block, dist block to Victors, Victors to motors, etc) would cut your power even more.
While I think your idea is novel, and would win you an engineering award, I don't think it would provide a viable robot on the field.
