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?

Re: Is the use of slip rings legal?

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
