But a 5 ounce bird couldn’t carry a one pound coconut
Where do you find the 5.5w motors? I can’t find them anywhere in the VEX shop.
Can confirm, they are blow molded. We picked one up at worlds. 
Read. The. Manual.
If the manual doesnt say something is illegal, it’s probably legal.
Use common sense when reading the manual.
Thank you! My mistake, so at the end of a match as long as your robot is not in contact with the cap it counts as elevation.
Is it technically allowed to push more than one of the acorns into the goal since the manual strictly says that pushing isn’t considered possession?
It depends. The game manual spells out cases where this is legal and where it is illegal. You should use primary sources for questions like this.
Many of us find these “questions easily understood by reading the manual” to be rude. Take the time to do your own work; expecting others to invest their own time to save yours can be perceived as disrespectful - that you think your time is more valuable than mine.
Suppose two birds were carrying it…
Could you please explain how to specifically send obtain the win point
are mecanum weels allowed this year in vrc, have they always been allowed?
Actually, the field elements aren’t that durable; they can be dented pretty easily by dropping them (on a hard floor).
I mean if you count it like that then in spin up there were 4 ways to score (expansion rollers low goals and high goals) and in tipping point there were 6 ways to score (mobile goals in your side, mobile goals on the ramp, parked robots, rings in the base of a mobile goal, rings on the top branch of the big mobile goal, and rings in the middle/top branch of a mobile goal or in the main pole of a mobile goal) so 3 rly isnt that much
How high up is the red bar that is over the triball? We want to make sure the robot can go under that to the opponents side to obtain triballs, and although the height limit is 18", we are not sure about the height of the red bar.
Vex’s pictures/renderings appear to be made using CAD, so if something looks parallel/perpendicular it probably is. So, the red pipe is a fraction of an inch higher than the side of the field.
Mecanum wheels are still allowed and will continue to be unless vex removes the v5 label on the website
Yep, vex wall is about 11.5”, not sure if tile takes away some of it.
Close but just so you know it would be 10 less points because 2 of the tri-balls are the other alliance color so unless you mean skills they wouldn’t count, still thanks for the doc it will probably be useful to look at.
If you set it to hold it should keep it locked
Hypothetically yes…but honestly in most cases because of the vex slides you need to use it won’t be able to hold it.
