I posted it before that was made thank you very much
how can u save space? the only way to do this while adding material is by modding the original motor which is illegal.
If you look closely the motor cover is removed and there is added support to make sure the cartage doesnât fall out. That doesnât classify as editing electronics and is legal.
if you scroll up I posted the first version when it came out
edit: and the creator roasted me for not posting the new one I guess
but i believe that altering the casing is also illegal.
(which is what you are doing by taking off the cap)
itâs not clearly legal or illegal based on the manual. Waiting for Q&A to see for sure
The casing isnât altered, itâs taken off. There was a Q&A about it at some point I believe.
Exactly! the motor was altered because the casing was taken off. it is illegal to alter the motor in ANY way.
I just said that there was a Q&A on it. The only part of the motor taken off is the mount which isnât an edit to its electrical functionality. Based on your logic, wouldnât hotswappable motors would be illegal? Or changing cartridges?
No modifications to electronic components are allowed. Motors (including the internal PTC or
Smart Motor firmware), microcontrollers (including V5 Robot Brain firmware), extension cords, sensors,
controllers, battery packs, reservoirs, solenoids, pneumatic cylinders, and any other electrical
component or pneumatics component of the VEX platform may NOT be altered from their original state
in ANY way.
a. External wires on VEX electrical components may be repaired by soldering, using twist/crimp
connectors, electrical tape or shrink tubing such that the original functionality / length is not
modified in any way. Wire used in repairs must be identical to VEX wire. Teams may make these
repairs at their own risk; incorrect wiring may have undesired results.
b. Teams must use the latest official VEXos firmware updates, found at www.vexrobotics.com. Custom
firmware modifications are not permitted.
c. Teams may change or replace the gears in the â2-Wire 393â or â2-Wire 269â motors with the corresponding official VEX Replacement Gears.
d. Teams may change or replace the gear cartridge in the V5 Smart Motor with other official replacement gear cartridges.
where is that? can u link it?
Yeah Iâm guessing this wonât be legal, unfortunately. Too bad, would have been kinda cool
should i just start a new topic on it?
Probably not. Q and A will give a clear answer soon, no real need for hypothetical discussion.
Key word is alter. I would assume unscrewing the motor mount wouldnât classify under that terminology. (not to mention that there was a q&a on it already which I mentioned above). I wouldâve linked if they werenât all closed.
Edit: this is also cursed images. It was posted here because it was a concept piece and is Cursed. If you want to continue to debate the legality, open another thread so people can see what they came here for.
Also Iâm removing the attached image to keep the flood down.
may i ask where tom cruise is?
He is not there as an option
thats the point.
Is this the guy youâre talking about?
