p.s keep an eye on this weeks fight cards when they become available
Well they don’t have to follow any rules about modifying electrical components. They completely remove the cortex case and bypass the battery connector/ power switch etc
Also it helps that max 5 teams are driving a robot at the same time at the event. 3 in match and 2 test boxes so interference is a lot lower than 1000 teams at worlds.
