Hello! As per R16
Most modifications to non-electrical components are allowed. Physical modifications, such as bending or cutting, of legal metal or plastic components are permittd.
Based on R16, would it be legal for teams to cut off the plastic edges of a V5 Brain's protective case which contain magnets, to use the magnets for other functional purposes on their robot? (Such as creating a new protective brain case out of polycarbonate which would also have mounting holes / additional supportive structures for the robot, or for use in a mechanism on a team's robot)
Would the Protective V5 brain cover be considered an extension of the V5 brain and thus deemed as an Electrical component?
If this is the case, and a protective V5 brain cover is considered as a part of a "Brain" as it is sold alongside it, is it also required during match play? If the cover is connected to the brain and is considered the same component, would a team by definition not have fulfilled Subsystem 2 of <R1> by not having the brain cover be a part of the robot as it does not have a full control system?
Cheers,
