Answered: Rubber Grommets

[MarkGlover]

is the use of Rubber grommets like these legal?

I was thinking of drilling some holes in some metal and then putting the grommets in so I could feed wires through the holes and not risk the wires being cut by the metal

Please be sure to read the Q&A Usage Guidelines before posting. Specifically items 1 & 3, regarding reading the manual and quoting applicable rules.

<R5> Robots may be built ONLY from Official Robot Components from the VEX Robotics Design System unless otherwise specifically noted within these rules.

<R7> Robots are allowed the following additional “non-VEX” components:
b. Any parts which are identical to legal VEX parts. For the purposes of this rule, products which are identical in all ways except for color are permissible. Note: It is up to inspectors to determine whether a component is “identical” to an official VEX component.

Since the part you mentioned is not an official VEX part, nor a identical replacement to an official VEX part, it is thereby illegal.
