Re: Update #3

So we can use cylinders and tanks other than those included in the KOP...

Re: Update #3

I wonder how one would control a servo without a NXT and FTC servo controller? Can you control them with simple switches like you would a motor?

Re: Update #3

Hmmm, so the FTC lego power switch isn't allowed? We were using that to activate the minibot motors...

Edit: oh wait it is a tetrix part, phew. Its just mounted on lego parts.

Re: Update #3

Just a few notes, Despite the change to say no more than one battery, <G19> as amended in update one still stands.

Also, despite the change to <G07>, <G06> and <G34> are still in effect and their combined effect limits the implications, but more importantly, the interaction of the changed <G07> and the unchanged <G10> when added to the unchanged <G06> and <G34>, that which is on the field before the match remains completely unchanged from the original rules, all that this change does is it removes the apparent prohibition of the feeders feeding game pieces onto the field.

Additionally, with the addition of slip rings as an allowable component. It would seem like "Unicorn Drive" is not as impossible as it once was.

EDIT: I was unable to post for a while due to technical issues. Unfortunately, that has made this post redundant since almost every idea has already been mentioned.

Re: Update #3

<G13> is still in effect, prohibiting TEAM members from touching GAME PIECES during AUTONOMOUS, meaning they cannot put the LOGO PIECES into play until TELEOPS begins.

So we can indeed use as many air supply tanks as we want/need without limit?

Per the update (see link on OP):
Quote:
The branch circuit may include intermediate elements such as COTS connectors, splices, COTS flexible/rolling/sliding contacts, and COTS slips rings, as long as the entire electrical pathway is via appropriately gauged conductors.
emphasis mine.
