Hello @VEX_GDC, any chance you can work with the nice people at RECF to get the legal / illegal parts list for High Stakes published? Your cohorts on the VIQ side have had theirs out for months now.
US schools are starting back, so new builders will be starting to look for it. There are teams from other places in the world that have started (and having events). I’d hate to see them sidelined by a part that wasn’t allowed.
Thanks!
I would try email probably but I have seen the same thing.
It’s my understanding that the @VEX_GDC forum pings dump into the GDC at vex dot com email box. Plus I’ll bet @ryanosweiler passed the word on too.
Hey Foster,
Usually the best place for this kind of question is sent directly to the GDC email address. However, in this case I’ll just answer this here to save us both some time.
To the best of my knowledge, we have never had a legal or illegal parts appendix for V5RC. There are a few similar resources (linked below) to help inspectors/referees determine legality, but not an official appendix akin to IQ.

Any specific parts questions can be directed to the QnA or the VEX GDC email address for more specific answers.

Thanks for closing the loop so fast!!
Would it be possible to web scrape the website to skim for “V5RC” or other tags on the page and output a dynamically updating a page that automatically lists all legal components?
