Cable Sleeving

[Noah1138]

Our robot has cable sleeving on our lift, and our team was wondering if we are allowed to use it because we don’t want to get a hard time from the inspectors at our competition. We are not modifying them in any way, (heat shrink, etc.) we are just simply feeding the wire through the sleeving to protect the wire.

<R7> Robots are allowed the following additional “non-VEX” components:
l. 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.
