The Q&A is closed for the 2021-2022 season. Any rule changes or clarifications pertaining to the 2022 VEX Robotics World Championship will be included in the April 5 Game Manual Update. Teams attending VEX Worlds who wish to pre-submit questions for the driver's meeting should have received a contact form via email; if not, please contact your REC Foundation Team Engagement Manager for more information.
<VUR2> allows teams to use official VEX Robotics products.
Is it permitted to render items from an official VEX part?
Example is extracting ball bearings from a VEX Pro radial bearing.
-Used in a team designed/manufactured part such as a 3d printed metric radial bearing
-Used in an aluminum draw slide extrusion permitted under <VUR4>
Hoping for an answer sooner than 3-4 weeks....
We are not going to provide a blanket answer that will encompass all possible forms of "mined" parts and materials.
The specific examples in this post would be permitted. As Fabricated Parts, per VUR4, we would advise having strong documentation supporting these designs, per VUR5.
