Re: question about lexan
If the panels are a " non-functional decoration" than i dont think they have to be shipped in the crate.
But i have been wrong before.... |

Re: question about lexan
I can't imagine a lexan cover being non-functional. Almost any attachment method (perhaps excluding zipties) strengthens the members it is attached to and prevents balls and/or other robots from crashing into unwanted areas.

Re: question about lexan
You could make covers out of some other material that are functionally the same and use these lexan panels as replacement parts. I am sure that because these lexan panels have already been fabricated, that they would be legal replacement parts. As long as you adhere to the INTENT of the rules there should not be any issues.

Re: question about lexan
They need to go with the crate. The whole robot needs to go.

Re: question about lexan
So if you made new panels, installed them in the robot prior to shipping, and brought the old ones (assuming all fabrication was done prior to ship) as replacements, they wouldn't be legal? Also assuming they are under 25 pounds. Depending on the complexity of these sides, they could be straight plates mounted vertically that have the sole purpose of displaying their team's name, number, and sponsor.
