    Default Sensor touching Regolith

    Team 1764 is looking at having a position sensor made of 2 Vex Omni wheels at 90 degrees to each other. Currently, this is planned to touch the "regolith". It is not meant to add traction or gain an advantage, but is used for positioning. We do not feel this would be in violation of rule R06, but we would like feedback concerning this. Thank you.

    Default Re: Sensor touching Regolith

    As long as the wheels are free-turning and do not provide traction, information gathering devices like this would not be considered a traction providing device, and would thus be permitted.

    In all cases, the role of the device must be to provide information, not traction, to the ROBOT.
