98: <VUR3> Casting Silicone, Polyurethane or Rubber


WHOOP
4-Oct-2018

Our team is interested casting uncured resins of silicone, polyurethane, or rubber into parts for our robot. While these are not legal materials listed in <VUR3>, we believe this is in the spirit of the rule because we developing our own fabrication process for these materials and not using prefabricated commercial parts. Would fabricating parts out of these materials in this fashion be legal and in the spirit of the rule?

Answered by Game Design Committee

As you noted, these are not materials or fabrication processes that are currently included in VUR3. Thus, they would not be legal. However, we will take this into consideration for future seasons.
