Answered: <R22> disqualification from future events

[Oliver_W]

VEX Skyrise Manual Updates

Rule <R22> was added and states:

<R22> Any violation of robot rules will result in a team being unable to play until they pass inspection (per <R2d>). In addition, teams who intentionally circumvent or violate rules to gain an advantage over their fellow competitors are in violation of the spirit and ethos of the competition. As such, anyone caught violating a rule in this manner may be disqualified from upcoming matches, the event, or even future events at the discretion of the VEX Robotics Competition Game Design Committee.

How will disqualifying teams from future events work in practice? Are event organisers required to report teams who intentionally circumvent or violate rules to the GDC?

You should report any sort of incident of this type to your RECF representative, who will work with the GDC to ensure a fair and appropriate resolution to the situation.
