Answered: <R11> Switching between configurations

[Zort]

Hi Karthik, apologies if this has already been asked. I feel like I saw a thread on this before but couldn’t find it after quite a bit of digging.

<R11> Robots may use either:
Option 1: Up to ten (10) VEX EDR motors or VEX Servos (Any combination, up to ten) and a legal
VRC pneumatic system. (See <R18>)
Option 2: Up to twelve (12) VEX EDR motors or VEX Servos (Any combination, up to twelve) and no
pneumatic components, excluding pneumatic tubing.

Is it legal to switch between 12 motors and pneumatics during a competition, provided that the robot is inspected in both configurations?

If this is legal, must all pneumatic components be removed from the robot, or can they remain attached as long as they are non functional?

Thank you!

Yes, this is legal.

Yes, the all must be removed for it to be legal configuration. Leaving on the Robot in an unconnected state would not suffice.
