Go to Post In 2012, we built our best machine ever. Some visitors to our pit were visibly disappointed to find that our machine was a pile of extruded aluminum and urethane belting, just cleverly arranged and programmed. - OZ_341 [more]

Exclamation Solenoids

I know that the pneumatic solenoid which was provided in the kit is legal. But, are we allowed to use an electromagnetic solenoid legally on a FIRST robot? I'm just a little nervous about it being legal or not, since we ran into a problem with an electrical/electronic component which the judges deemed illegal last year, resulting in time being wasted at the competition.

I apologize if someone already posted this, but I wasn't able to find it.

Thanks a bunch!

Re: Solenoids

No. Look on the official Q/A boards.

Re: Solenoids

Look no further than the team manuel. In the robot .pdf file you find the following flowchart which should be definative. Page 14 of 40 flowchart

2006 FIRST Robotics Competition Manual, Section 5 – The Robot, Rev D Page 14 of 30

Electronics?
Is the part an electronic component, i.e., designed
to conduct electricity?

Is it a legal additional
CIM motor or servo?

Is the part a motor,
solenoid, pump, or other
actuator?
NO!
It may not be used
