Unless they’re directly touching a robot, they don’t count.

Nobody. It’s not even about who’s touching them; if they’re detached, they’re no longer “part” of the robot. [image]

you would need super long wires

So if we are touching any tiles in the low goals do they count as points?

SC5 point C states that the field tiles in low goals do not count towards the cover points. [image]

the other robots can still drive to your side of the field

does anyone know if plastic straws are allowed for guiding string, or if there is an alternative construction material?

Also “R7 i” might overrule the previous one if I were to use a different size tubing than the normal black pneumatic tubing VEX sells, which was my intention.
