<VUR2>

As of November 2025, all VEXpro parts are discontinued. To maintain a level playing field and ensure all VURC Teams have access to the same library of parts, functionally equivalent, drop-in part substitutes for VEXpro parts may be considered to meet the intent of <VUR2>. In order to meet our intent, each functionally equivalent, drop-in part must:
• Match the form, fit, and function of the VEXpro part it is replacing.
• Not provide a discernable or perceivable advantage over the comparable VEXpro part.
• Comply with all other applicable VURC Robot rules. Teams should be prepared to demonstrate or defend their part substitutes in inspection as necessary, when possible. The GDC understands that this may be difficult in the immediate future, as the VEXpro website no longer hosts documentation on VEXpro parts, including but not limited to part descriptions, drawings, pictures, etc. The GDC is working with VEX Robotics to explore and identify a better long-term solution to this problem. In the interim, we ask all Teams, referees, inspectors, and the entire VURC community to: Work collaboratively, understanding that the intent of this clarification is to allow Robots to compete with minimal to no modification, not to prevent participation. Apply <G1>, <G3>, and the RECF Code of Conduct when interpreting this guidance. We recognize this may temporarily result in a challenging inspection environment; good faith is essential. Refrain from exploiting this allowance. We intentionally and meaningfully chose to attempt to maintain product legality and competitive fairness while products are discontinued. Deliberately pushing boundaries may force the GDC to entirely reassess the legality of all VEXpro components.
