Official Q&A: VEX V5 Robotics Competition 2025-2026: Push Back
2835: Bearing Attachment Rivet - 276-2215 and 2815 Q&A
In Q&A 2815 a team was asking if commercially available plastic rivets were legal and used a photo of plastic rivets that looked like 276-2215 which is on the list of VEX discontinued products but still competition legal: Discontinued V5 Products
I just want to clarify that this VEX product, if in your robotics toolbox, is still legal to use in competition as indicated under R17 c - from the question it was unclear if they had found a non-VEX supplier for this part.
Thank you in advance!
Hello, Pascal, and thanks for your question.
You're correct. Official VEX plastic rivets (276-2215) are still legal for use in the VEX V5 Robotics Competition. Commercially-available plastic rivets that are not produced and sold by VEX Robotics are not legal.
