@WhatCouldGoWrong

Why don’t you get yourself a copy of the game manual, read rule SG4, and let us know what you find out.

[WhatCouldGoWrong]

got it.
not all of us memorize the game manual one week after release.

[kmmohn]

I don’t have it memorized, but I do have the VRC hub on my cell phone, and I know how to use the search function. Also, in the current game manual there’s a quick index on the VRC hub, making it even easier to answer RTM questions.

[WhatCouldGoWrong]

Thank You!

There’s a table of contents in the pdf, too:

If you click the rule number, it takes you to that page.

I didn’t want to start a new topic but does anyone know when the game and field elements will ship to California?

[TheRichDarth]

I’m not in that region but our fields are shipping mid-may. You can call or email the vex sales rep to know for sure about your order.

[Team30809S]

May I ask when you ordered your game elements? Just for reference.

[JAZ]

There is a vertical expansion limit (see SG5)

An alliance starts on the same side as it’s low goal.

[242EProgrammer]

Hey everyone asking about quite ordinary rules. There’s a thing called a Game Manual which describes all the limits on how you may play the game. In this Game Manual, there is a Table of Contents which has a list of all the rules. If you click on the rule number, it will take you to that rule.

Here are some recent cases where this could have been used.

@HudsonIsKool-Aid

I think the most secure option would be an arm that extends out (connected to the conveyor belt) and just plops the discs in.

Would zipties count as “contact” to the tiles?

@MaiaM04

Is it possible to pick up more than one disc to throw to the basket?

@ROBOTEER

Can you start with your two preloads inside your intake for auton, so you instantly shoot them when the timer starts?

[1908A]

We preordered the game elements before the game was released.

[MaiaM04]

Is it possible to pick up more than one disc to throw to the basket?

[RoboCatz]

I would strongly recommend that you read the manual. Your answer will be found there.

[u89djt]

I should say that this isn’t the exact axial mount you need because the shaft would rotate freely. The 36 tooth gear and the specific diameter peg that sits in the over-sized hole should both be rigidly mounted to the roller. They coordinate to provide the reluctance to rotate. See cad: 2022 - 2023 VEX Robotics Competition - Spin Up - #275 by u89djt

[TheRichDarth]

I’m not certain. I think that it was less than a week after they were first available to pre-order.

[BOB_potato]

Are you allowed to just make a pushbot an push disks into the low goal?
Cuz it seems like you can.

[DougMoyers]

If the manual does not prohibit and action, it is allowed.

[BOB_potato]

Also can you just roll paper/any legal thing in vex that resembles paper on the ground in th endgame?
