Good suggestions. It is a must differentiate entry from lightweight entry. Will see what the committee decide. We need a draft as soon as possible.
Hi there,
Are there are( or were in the previous years ) any limitations on the micros to use or their frequency?
Until this year only EV3 and NXT were allowed. But for this and the upcoming years all microcontrollers are allowed.
Maybe this rule will be rediscussed after the 2024 season, if we think it is necessary.
#10 will we be allowed to use vision systems like PixyCam, Pixy2 or Nicla Vision?
yes, all kinds of cameras are allowed, as long as they fit into the general space and weight constraints
Is it allowed put 4 holonomic wheels on the robot for traction but using 2 motors?
yes, the limit is applied to motors, not wheels.
When the draft rules will ready? Entry and lightweight entry? For us the first challenge will take place in March 2024. We need to know how to build new robots following so many new technical features. Is a road map for draft and final rules available? Thanks.
I would guess, the current draft rules can be used for developing your new robots.
draft rules 2023 is obsolete, there is draft rules of 2024?
Unfortunately not yet, the changes will be the ones we spoke about here though. We will try to get those rules out this month, my apologies for the delay.
Thank you so much, David. This topic is well followed and full of interesting point a views. Looking forward waiting the draft.
I red time ago about a big issue during the last European championship in Croazia (Mr Kolaric told about it?). To avoid the “destruction” of the carpet caused by metallic or hard plastic wheels I suggest the mandatory use of rubber in the external part of the holonomic wheels as in the following two pictures:

This wheel can help little but for entry leagues shouldnt be problem but with speed on one spot even this kind of subwheels can destroy carpet. I was one of referee in Croatia this year for entry and LWL entry and you could see smudged traces after robot passed in LWL entry
