Answered: Maximum amount of Y-Cables

[SpencerVaughan]

R12 States

<R12> A maximum of one (1) VEX Y-cable can be used per Motor Port of the Microcontroller or
Power Expander. (You cannot “Y off a Y” to have more than two (2) motors controlled by the same Motor Port.)

My question is what are the maximum amount of Y-cables a team can use on a robot in separate ports?

One of our Cortex’s ports does not work so we were wondering if we are allowed to use a total of 3-4 Y-Cables If they are not Y off a Y?

Thanks

There are no restrictions on the number of Y-cables that can be used, provided that no other rules are broken in the process (such as no “Y off a Y” connections, not exceeding the maximum number of motors specified by <R11>, etc).
