69: V4/Cortex Only Comps?

I've been hearing that some official qualifying competitions are going to establish a rule where the robots must be V4/VEX Cortex only. Is it correct that Event Partners cannot do such a thing considering the rule <R12>?

Answered by Game Design Committee

The Cortex and V5 systems are both legal at all standard VRC qualifying/championship events.

New this season, EP's also have the ability to host an Invitation-Only event if they also host a standard/open VRC event per the VRC Qualification Criteria guidelines. EP's with questions about Invitation-Only events should contact their REC Foundation Regional Support Manager for more information.
