Minibot Question

FIRST General Forum
#1

Does the minibot have 10 seconds to deploy AND move up the tower? Or is there a small period of time when the minibot may be deployed, and then has 10 seconds to move up the tower?

-Does anybody know? Please and thank you!

The endgame is 10 seconds long. You may only deploy in the endgame.

You don’t even necessarily have the full 10 seconds. If you want to win the race, you really only have as long as the next-fastest minibot takes to reach the top of its tower.

#4

Can the minibot be made out of VEX parts and motors?

#5

Jaginator, please read the rules. It is very explicitly spelled out regarding what you can use to build the minibot.

#6

I have read it carefully and there is still a lot of confusion

#7

Take a look at <R-92>. It’s an explicit list of allowed parts for the Minibot.

#8

Those are the ONLY parts usable… wow FIRST seems to have some grudge against VEX they wont even allow in FTC

#9

You can’t use VEX parts and TETRIX it’s allready out of stock. Were FRC teams can buy TETRIX components?
