Answered: Clarification on <R7L> and Other Cables [VEX U]

[Jij]

Hi Karthik,

I have one more question regarding <R7L> (quoted below), however with a VEX U twist. <R7L> permits commercially available cable protection specifically for 2-wire, 3-wire, 4-wire cables, and pneumatic tubing. Would this be extended to any type of cable for VEX U, considering we could be using other types of cables for our additional electronics?

<R7> Robots are allowed the following additional “non-VEX” components:
l. Commercially available items used solely for the purpose of bundling or wrapping of 2-wire, 3-wire, 4-wire cables, and pneumatic tubing, for the purposes of protection, organization, or management are allowed. This includes but is not limited to electrical tape, cable carrier, cable track, etc. Note: it is up to inspectors to determine whether a component is serving a function beyond protecting and managing cables.

Thank you.

Yes, this is legal for VEX U.
