Depends on what kind of paint you use, but we've spray painted our chassis in past years and also this year already.

Smile Re: painted bot

Of course you can paint your robot with non-hazardous coatings. What leads you to believe you can't paint your shipping crate?

Re: painted bot

If you didn't know minibots probably can be painted under the allowed material of non-function decoration.

Re: painted bot

I do not know if you have ever seen the Pink Team, but if they can do this, I am pretty sure you can paint your robot almost any way you want:

I am not quite positive, but I believe the whole frame and arm are powder-coated.

Re: painted bot

Of course you can Here's our Lunacy robot, my favorite for our team as far as paint goes (maybe cause I did most of the painting ) unfortunately I could not find a picture of our bight yellow crate covered in team oriented graphics.

We have had a painted crate for the last 9 years. I have never seen a ruling against this.

Re: painted bot

You can paint your 'bot. You can paint your crate. You can paint your nose, but, you can't paint your friend's nose.
