8.3 Robot Rules - Hard drive on robot?
http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=1095
Q: Are we allowed to have a hard drive on the robot for processing information? Or would we have to use a storage device that has no motor?
A: No, as a disk drive would include an additional motor and would therefore violate Rule <R46>. Solid state storage devices may be used, as long as they are used in compliance with all rules regarding custom circuits.
