Is it legal to use a flywheel in place of VEX wheels

I have a team wanting to use flywheels in place of the regular wheels. Is this legal?

Yes, as long as you use Vex IQ parts, stay within size restrictions, etc (refer to Game Manual), then it is legal.

If you are talking about the drivetrain wheels, then that might not be the best thing to do…

That might work if you mean some special component on your robot to shoot the rapid relay balls into the goals/targets. You can do things like repurpose slapshot flywheels.
