Are vex 3d printed inserts for flex wheels legal?
They weren’t but some people are saying that vex said we can use them as long as we don’t modify the design and it serves the same purpose as normal inserts.
Their reason is because of vex’s shipping issues which is why we can use them if we have no alternative
Unless you are in VexU, no, not legal.
There are numerous topics on this subject, for example
Are u sure that applies now since my friend says it is allowed because of shipping issues ?
Yes, I’m sure

Unless there’s a more recent Q&A that reverses this decision.
Is it legal? Check the rulebook
Don’t believe the rulebook? Fine. Double check the Q&A.
Can’t find a Q&A? Ask in the forum.
Get an answer from a forum moderator? Believe them.
Don’t believe them? I can’t fix that.
Thanks, there was confusion since our coach and main ref seemed to allow it.
