• Components obtained from the V5 beta program. All V5 beta hardware can be identified by its lighter gray pre-production color. Robot Brains, Robot Batteries, Controllers, and Vision Sensors from the V5 beta have a “BETA TEST” stamp on them. Smart Motors and Radios do not have this stamp, but can still be identified by color.

• 3D printed Robot parts for any purpose, including non-functional decorations and license plates.
• Speakers and other audio devices that create sound.

3D printed Controller attachments, 3D printed Robot alignment tools, and/or other custom 3D printed tools that do not go onto the Robot or into the Field during a Match are not considered Robot parts, and may be legal for use if they meet the requirements of other pertinent rules.
