I was just wondering to see if I am allowed to 3D print something to hold my pneumatics tank. I know you’re not allowed to 3D print functional things but wanted to see if this falls under that

Short answer is no. 3d printed Air tank holders - #6 by Foster if they can be consider decoration and not functional See this as the last post on a very long 3D Printing post. Well, that isn't what I expected (flying parts edition) - #126 by Foster Feel free to jump in and take a role.

Use some brain. VEX are literally selling GPS sensors for literally 200 dollars each, and most other V5 sensors are around 40 dollars. You can already buy a good 3D printer with around 200-250 dollars. Giving well funded teams more advantage is already not an argument, if VEX already sell parts th…

Gentle annual reminder that RECF (the people that setup and run the VEXIQ, VRC, VEXU, etc competitions) are completely separate from VEX (the people that make the robot parts that we use to build our robots). VEX supplies CAD drawings that you can 3D print your own parts from. RECF is the group t…

I think the only crossover person was Grant, but happy for you and the DRowForGDC gang to prove me wrong.

Cool, awesome search function skills, thanks. Continue VEX bashing.

[image] Ryan_4253B: The true reason VEX don’t want to allow 3D printer is because they are greedy for money. This was originally my thoughts as well. But I feel the real reason is that of complexity. Vex wants a low entry barrier for new teams and 3d printing undermines that. Put simply: Gear…

[image] Robo_Chicken: Put simply: Gears and metal that come in a kit and just screw together is much more appealing to new robotics students than bots made completely out of custom 3d printed parts. True, but vex does already allow custom parts: pretty much any non electronic part can be modi…

But in the core 5, 2 are VEX employees, 2 are REC Foundation employees and 1 works as a part-time contractor to do the GDC work and other competition aspects throughout the season.
