<R14>
Robots are built from the VEX IQ product line. Robots may be built ONLY from official Robot components from the VEX IQ product line, unless otherwise specifically noted within these rules.
• Official VEX IQ products are ONLY available from VEX Robotics. To determine whether or not a product is “official” and legal for competition use, consult the following sources: VEX IQ Robotics Competition Legal Parts Appendix VEX IQ Robotics Competition Illegal Parts Appendix www.vexiq.com
• If an inspector or Head Referee questions whether something is an official VEX IQ component, the Team will be required to provide documentation that proves the component’s source. Such documentation may include receipts, part numbers, or other printed documentation.
• Only VEX IQ components specifically designed for use in Robot construction are allowed. Using additional components outside their typical purpose is against the intent of the rule (i.e., please don’t try using VEX IQ apparel, Team or event support materials, packaging, Field Elements, or other non-Robot products on a VEX IQ Robotics Competition Robot).
• Official Robotics components from the VEX IQ product line that have been discontinued are still legal for Robot use. However, Teams must be aware of <R14b>.
• Additional VEX IQ products that are released during the season are legal for use, unless otherwise noted on their product pages.
• VEX IQ Smart Cables may only be used for connecting legal electronic devices to the VEX IQ Robot Brain. Note: A comprehensive list of legal VEX IQ parts can be found in the VEX IQ Robotics Competition Legal Parts Appendix, at https://www.vexrobotics.com/iq/competition/viqc-current-game. This Appendix is updated as needed if/when new VEX IQ parts are released, and may not coincide with scheduled Game Manual updates.
