Re: Is the use of slip rings legal?
Do you mean a slipring for electrical connections? I'm almost certain it would be illegal to run electricity through something thats not a wire.

I believe this was brought up last year (or the year before) and discussed in depth.

To be perfectly honest I do not think that is what he is talking about. He is being a bit cryptic but apaerntly he is talking about something the drivetrain. Can you elaborate??

Slip Rings:

ARE these legal? Could they be considered part of a custom circuit? I have no idea.


---------------
If you mean something else and it's only mechanical it's probably legal, but better clarify to make sure. You want to spin a wheel (a drive wheel?) more then 360 degrees?

Am not positive about the entire slipring concept, however the bruches and the ring conducting electricity ARE legal...66 used them oon our mini-bot in '02 and i dont think that specific robot rule has been revised since then
