101: Is it permitted to replace a V5 motor mount insert with a standoff once the insert has stripped?


Pascal Chesnais (Event Partner)

It occurs from time to time that the small metal extrusion on the threaded motor mounts become shredded. The mount is a standoff shaped structure. So is it permissible to replace it with a standoff?

Is it further permitted to remove the internal insert and mount it outside as described in the turntable mounting instructions provided by VEX?

The concern is that these would both be violations of R16

Thank you for your consideration!

Answered by Game Design Committee

Yes, this is legal.
