Answered: Are Speakers Functional? (Non VEX Parts)

[Owen]

Hi, I was wondering whether it would be legal to add speakers (not a VEX part) to a robot to play music or make other sounds in a competition. Would this be considered a non-functional decoration, or would it be illegal?

Thanks.

Speakers would be considered functional and are not legal for VEX Gateway.
