Answered: Use of Wire Loom for Wire Management

[sharil_maredia]

I was looking at the rules for this game, and couldn’t find anything about the legality of wire loom on robots, for use of wire management. So, are teams allowed to use wire loom to help organize their wires? Thanks for any responses!

This question is answered in <R7> of Game Manual.

@VEX Robotics Competition Starstruck Game Manual

<R7> Robots are allowed the following additional “non-VEX” components:
l. Commercially available items used solely for the purpose of bundling or wrapping of 2-wire, 3-
wire, 4-wire cables, and pneumatic tubing, for the purposes of protection, organization, or
management are allowed. This includes but is not limited to electrical tape, cable carrier, cable
track, etc. Note: it is up to inspectors to determine whether a component is serving a function
beyond protecting and managing cables.
