I’ve seen you spreading some unconfirmed information about the reasoning behind the banning of colored parts on other posts.

You say that it’s to prevent “mimicking game elements”, that is not the intent of the rule. That is the intent of part D of the rule, not part A. Please read the manual closely before responding to several topics with incorrect information.
The GDC knows that 99.9999% of colored parts are not mimicking game elements. Most are black or deep scarlet. Heck, red VEX gears mimic game elements much much more than any painted/anodized c-channel I’ve ever seen.
Please also do your research. The GDC in High Stakes banned painting/anodizing vex parts in mainland China only because manufacturers were making illegal c-channels using other metals/alloys and painted them to mask the contraband from inspectors. I can’t speak to how many teams were doing this in China, or how it provided such an overwhelming advantage that your c-channels are a teensy bit stronger, but the GDC has decided to just punish everyone for it now.
Sorry if I’m being harsh on you, but you gave @Toxin , @6842A-APOLLO , @ryankuo12 , and @i-suck-at-vex blatantly incorrect answers. Other times I’d get miffed at one, but four separate occasions is a lot.
