Answered: Number of Y-splitters allowed

[penguinfrk]

I was wondering how many Y-splitters are allowed. I believe it’s 2 (for a total of 10 motors) but did not find it officially anywhere. Did I miss something in the rules?

As per <R11> and <R12> in Section 4 of the VEX Clean Sweep game manual:

<R11> Robots may use up to ten (10) VEX motors or VEX Servos (Any combination, up to ten)

<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.)
