Legality

I’ve been looking around in the rules and couldn’t find a thorough answer, in Vexcode IQ with the C++ language you can configure motor groups with more than 2 motors and configure motor groups inside other motor groups. Is that legal? Thanks in advance.

Legality has nothing to do with it. You are using a SDK that only has 2 motor groups. Nobody cares what you code as long as you don’t damage the field or other robots.

TBH, if you are programming in C++ you can do what you want. So feel free to create your own custom nestable, multi motor groups. If you think about it, a motor group is a half dozen lines of code that James or Tim wrote to make it easy to reverse the motors on the same shaft for teams with a lower skill set.

It’s like the people that want a 6,8,10 wheel drive base and the current one does 4. Just write a few lines of code and make your own.

Okay cool, I just didn’t know how they regarded programming since some things seem brutally unfair compared to others. Cheers!
