2091: Use of commercially available spacers


123A

<R21> According to R21, is it allowed to purchase M5 spacers with ID only slightly larger(0.072mm) than the official vex nylon spacers since there are no M4 equivalents with similar OD as the vex spacers in the metric system?

Yes, this would be allowed by <R21>, provided the spacer does not introduce additional functionality not found in standard VEX equipment. Final determination on the legality of a specific non-VEX part must be made by the Head Referee at your event.
