Rule M11
Energy used by FIRST Robotics Competition robots, i.e., stored at the start of a match, must come solely from:
Electrical energy derived from the onboard 12Vdc battery;
Storage achieved by deformation of springs or latex tubing; no more than 20 ftlbs (27.116 newton-meters aka joules) energy total stored at the start of a match;
Compressed air stored in the pneumatic system, but only supplied by the Pump included in the kit and stored at a maximum pressure of 120 PSI;
A change in the altitude of the device's center of gravity.
As telekinetic energy does not fall under these, it is illegal to telekinetically propel staples or nails for any purpose during the match. However, if you are telekinetically gifted, go have a talk with the army or CIA. You'll get your college education paid for
Disclaimer: This does not mean I or anyone else on 957 believes or does not believe in telekinetic or other paranormal abilities.
But seriously, I doubt anyone has telekinetic abilities, although I am open-minded if anyone cares to prove me wrong.
