Official Q&A: VEX V5 Robotics Competition 2025-2026: Push Back

<R19><R19>

I understand that 3D printing parts are not allowed for functional/non-functional use. I also understand that R28 prohibits modifications of solenoids. However, I would still like to know if this would be possible. Picture is a pneumatics solenoid. Notice the one connector lacking the plastic casing for the 3-wire connector leaving one set of pins exposed. Could a replacement part (approximately identical) be 3D printed to prevent the pins from being bent when in use?

This would not be a modification as described in R28 as it's reverting the the solenoid to its "original" design rather than adapting for a new purpose. It's not necessarily a custom part for the robot like a functional bracket, or decoration which I believe to be the "spirit of the rule".

Honestly my opinion would be not allowed based on R19, but thought I would throw it out there.
