Answered: Parts in CORTEX package

In the CORTEX package there are five wires about two inches long with red insulation and right angle bends on the ends. There is also a small disc of Velcro.

They are not on any BEST approval list, so it appears that they can’t be used on a BEST robot.

What are they for?

These are jumper wires for use with the Cortex Microcontroller and it’s preprogramming.

We at VEX Robotics cannot comment on the rules of the BEST Robotics Competition – please consult with BRI for any rules clarification.
