USB vexnet extentions

Is it legal/possible to use a male to female USB extension cord to position a vexnet key away from the cortex?

Yes

I’ve sent you pictures of my robot wherein my extension cable can be seen. It’s totally legal.

ah yay thanks! this will make cortex placement much easier.

As long as you keep in mind the following:
Your Cortex should be placed such that:

  1. The switch is easily accessible
  2. The lights on the Cortex can be easily seen
