822: R6 Typo

2114C
20-Jul-2021

R6a states:

Products from the Cortex, VEXpro, VEX IQ, VEX GO, VEX 123 or VEX Robotics by HEXBUG product line cannot be used for Robot construction, unless specifically allowed by a clause of <R7> or cross-listed as part of the VEX V5 Product lines.

I believe this is an error (one that was present last season too). In the Tower Takeover game manual, R7 was the "Certain non-VEX components are allowed" rule, which has now been moved to R8. I believe the direction towards R7 in R6a should be changed to R8 because of this.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This has been fixed in the Game Manual v1.1 update.
