I101          *It’s your team’s ROBOT. The ROBOT and its MAJOR MECHANISMS must be built by the FIRST Robotics Competition team.

R303       *Create new designs and software, unless they’re public. ROBOT software and designs created before Kickoff are only permitted if the source files (complete information sufficient to produce the design) are available publicly prior to Kickoff.

R102       *STARTING CONFIGURATION – no overhang. In the STARTING CONFIGURATION (the physical configuration in which a ROBOT starts a MATCH), no part of the ROBOT shall extend outside the vertical projection of the ROBOT PERIMETER, with the exception of its BUMPERS and minor protrusions such as bolt heads, fastener ends, rivets, cable ties, etc.

R502       *Only 4 propulsion motors. A ROBOT may not have more than 4 propulsion motors. A propulsion motor is a motor that enables the ROBOT to move around the FIELD surface (i.e., carpet). Motors that generate small amounts of thrust as a secondary or incidental feature are not considered propulsion motors.
