With Override’s new game manual coming out at MS Worlds today, I think the rules banning custom painted, anodized, or spray painted parts is completely uncalled for from everyone. Unlike normal Vex activities, this rule doesn’t even allow them to profit more, which is seen in other changes such as n…

it does give them profit they get money from orgs having to rebuy all their parts

actually this time ima defend the guy. license plates don’t have to be 3d printed they have to be vex parts tho

also, a lot of your posts appear to be AI generated… I highly recommend you stop using AI to respond to posts as it can (as seen above) get things wrong and confuse people.

This is a somewhat poor excuse as things like license plates and gears (being red and blue) could also have a direct affect on sensor performance. I personally used the AI vision sensor in high stakes programming an autonomous routine and there was a tendency it would pick up license plates and gear…
