Use of string in vex iq rise above

[bendover]

We want to use regular string (not specific vex string as we dont have any) in our robot. Is it allowed? We have ensures the way we use it that it will not become entangled in anyway.

You can find the manual and all the information you need to start here:

Note <R7> and <R8>:

I don’t see anything that shows you would be allowed.

They don’t have the list of allowed parts yet, but a reference to where you can get the legal materials is here:

Caution Tape Robotics Presents: Moon Walker - 839A Reveal

I can’t be totally sure what rope piece it is, but if I had to guess it would be from the new Construction Zone kit. The colors certainly fit Caution Tape’s aesthetic. I can’t tell if its two 228-2500-440 (36x pitch rope) or one looped 228-2500-448 (120x pitch rope). I personally hope it’s one long 120x pitch rope snaked between the arm and the lower claw, that would be rad.
