I wanted to ask about the G5 rule of the vex iq manual which tells us that vertically the robot must measure 19 inches, however this measure can change, and that at any time the robot must have this feature my question is that measure of 19 is taken from the robot tires? another doubt I have is tha…

At all times*, your robot must fit in an 11x19x19 box. The picture as shown does not appear to adhere to that rule. Also, assuming the chain would be drug behind the robot, that would be beyond the horizontal limit. I do admire your willingness to stretch the boundaries of the rules, but I believ…

“Vertical” always means “perpendicular to the floor” and “horizontal” always means “parallel to the floor”, see this Q&A: https://www.robotevents.com/VIQC/2021-2022/QA/828

another questionthat I have is that if a robot hangs to put the balls in the basket but for this there is a part of the robot hanging that is a chain that NEVER stops touching the ground, clarifying that the size of the robot increases to hang so my question is that if it is worth the points that a…

If the robot scores points as a result of being taller than 19 inches, that is a violation of G5 which should result in a disqualification.

but look what it says in the rule G5 says that it is not mandatory to maintain the initial position with which it is in the match, also not very clear eeta in the manual as a rule contradicts another as G19 says that a robot can not hang with more than two balls if not touching the ground, then as I…

but even so it is still a rule of the game and is valid the issue of hanging carrying the balls so that would be an adjustment that would have to do to the game because it is impossible to hang and be touching the ground to score the balls. in addition to this to hang obviously will go beyond the e…

[image] lauratrujillo: but even so it is still a rule of the game The phrase “this expansion limit does not require that the Robot stay in the same configuration as it was when it began the Match” in G5 does not allow robots to expand to unlimited height during the match – if it did, there wo…

it is illogical because in order to be able to hang myself I must extend and the height or the measure proposed does not give me the capacity to be able to hang myself. sorry, are you a vex iq worker?

To put it simply, it is illegal for your robot to EVER become taller than 19"(482.6mm). [image] lauratrujillo: it is illogical because in order to be able to hang myself I must extend and the height or the measure proposed does not give me the capacity to be able to hang myself. [image] As…

Here is the part of G5 you’re referring to:

(emphasis mine)

If the robot is taller than 19 inches, it can’t fit within an 11" x 19" x 19" rectangular prism, which is a violation of G5.

This is correct – the intent of G19 (which was not in v0.1 of the game manual, but got added in an update over the summer) was to prohibit scoring balls by hanging from the bar and dumping them. See this threads for more info:
