The Q&A is going to open in roughly six to seven days. There have been a lot of confusing rules like SG5 C and the pet sheets. So what are your planned questions or questions you would like to see asked?

[image] Q&A's Now Open VEX News The Q&A’s for VRC Spin Up, and VIQC Slapshot are now open! Before posting your question, we ask that you first thoroughly review the associated Usage Guidelines. Looking forward to a great 2022 - 2023 season! VRC Q&A / Usage Guidelines V…

I apologize for reviving this topic, but I really like the easy path it gives to keeping up with the Q&A. However the real reason I posted was because I have a Q&A question that I was hoping someone could ask for me. My team won’t be registered for at least a few more months, and I would like an an…

the main argument against using laser pointers, flashlights, or other light-projecting devices to assist aim would be of safety concern. It’d be pretty annoying and potentially hazardous, depending on the light, to have a robot with something like this constantly on, pointing at an upwards angle, wh…

I agree here for the safety reasons. However, I could see an exception/allowance if it was never pointed (nominally, barring contact with other robots or field elements) above the level of the field perimeter. Now, if you don’t have a turret, then just pointing at a spot on the ground a few feet ah…

I do mention in the question that it wouldn’t be violating any rules like [image] FRC973: blinding other drivers But I’ve edited it to make that clearer

Pointing the light horizontally such that it couldn’t blind anyone would make it safe, but then it has a solid chance of effecting other robot sensors, such as the line tracking sensor which is pretty commonly used for very close range object detection, or some other light/vision based sensor. I do…

[image] New Products - August 2022 VEX News For anyone else confused like I was, [Screenshot_20220804-135749] Though maybe G3 will supersede this (I think it should, as long as there’s no obvious way for moving flywheels to affect scoring). Food for Q&A thought Cou…

[image] karmanyaahm: Could someone ask if refs actually need to wait for flywheels to spin down to score, please? I mean, do we really need this level of hyper-precision? If the spinning flywheel has no ability to change the field, does it matter if refs start scoring before it stops in the …

Game elements come to a stop. Not caring about your robot. Well there are the hanging games, but not this time.

[image] Foster: Not caring about your robot. Note the rule states specially to wait for robot to come to rest. I am ok with flywheels spinning as long as no interaction with game objects or displacing itself on the field. No need for Q&A.

[image] lacsap: Note the rule states specially to wait for robot to come to rest. I noted that and went "Umm, not going to wait 30 seconds for your flywheels to maybe spit out a disc. I’ll wait for the GDC to rule on “flywheels must stop before scoring” as a must and then I’ll re-campaign on…

Could someone ask if refs actually need to wait for flywheels to spin down to score, please?
