springs are not allowed, you can refer to the robot manual to see what parts you can use on your minobot.

The word “hardware” in <R92> has been replaced with the word fastener. So no, those would not be legal for use on the Minibot.

Thanks, we haven’t been checking for revisions… I guess we’ll do that more often now.
