<G8c> prohibits use of any devices that “simplify[s] the game challenge during a match”, with the exception of strategic aids, or personal accessories. This phrase is unclear. The following are two example devices with the intent to clarify whether they meet the GDC definition of “simplify the game challenge”.
A simple mechanical mechanism, such as a ramp, that allows drive team members to legally load their robot more rapidly. Is this ever legal, if so in what situations is it not? Could this use legal vex electronics, could this use non-legal electronics?
A simple mechanism for teams to organize the match the loads amongst the alliance members, and for further storage, additional to any provided by the event. Is this ever legal, if so in what situations is it not?
