222: Tape Restrictions


281A
22-Jan-2019

In the 2018-2019 vex turning point competition, is it acceptable to tape a color filter straight onto the light sensor? I know tape is restricted in most cases but I don't know how else to attach the filter to the light sensor.

<R7a> states the following:

<R7> Robots are allowed the following additional “non-VEX” components:

a. Any material strictly used as a color filter or a color marker for a VEX Light Sensor.

This would be legal, provided that is used solely as part of a color filter for the VEX Light Sensor, and not in any additional capacity as a fastener or structural element.
