Answered: Building a Flying Bot

[Mrlong2]

Assuming that we find a way to build a flying Robot with all legal VEX parts, Would it be legal to Fly during a match if we didn’t violate any rules?

Just Wondering,

Yes, in the highly unlikely situation where you managed to build a flying Robot with VEX legal parts, and did not violate any rules, especially <S1>, this would be legal. I’ve quoted <S1> below for your convenience.

@VEX Skyrise Game Manual

<S1> If at any time the Robot operation or team actions are deemed unsafe or have damaged the Field Elements or Scoring Objects, including, but not limited to disassembly of Cubes and/or Skyrise Sections, by the determination of the referees, the offending team may be Disabled and/or Disqualified. The Robot will require re-inspection before it may again take the field.
