70: <VUR2> and 'This product is not legal for use in the VEX Robotics Competition.'

CSUN1
9-Sep-2018

As of September 9, 2018 < VUR2 > states:

Teams may use any official VEX Robotics product, other than the exceptions noted below, to construct their Robot. This includes those from the VEXpro, VEX EDR, and VEX IQ product lines. To figure out if a product is “official” or not, refer to the www.vexrobotics.com website. ...

But several items (such as the BEST Belt & Pulley Kit, item 270-1683) state:

Note: This product is not legal for use in the VEX Robotics Competition.

So I would like to ask: For items that state they are not legal for VRC use but could potentially be allowed under < VUR2 >, does VUR2 take precedence (making these items legal) or does the item page take precedence (making these items illegal)?

Answered by Game Design Committee

For BEST products that explicitly state "This product is not legal for use in the VEX Robotics Competition", like the Belt & Pulley Kit you reference, the website will take precedence. These items are not legal for use in the VEX Robotics Competition or VEX U.
