First question:

I have a couple questions for a ref.  In the rules I see only two references
to string:

1) That it may be cut to length

2) That it may NOT be used as an extension to your robot to pull your robot
back to base if it gets in trouble.

 

There are LEGO nets available.  The one I had in mind is LEGO part number
71155 and can be viewed in the catalog available at bricklink.com.    Since
the net is made from string and is a LEGO part, can I assume that it is
legal?  Can I also assume that LEGO netting can be cut to any size desired?

 

Second question:

Can a LEGO rubber band be used to deliberately bend an axle?  The only rule
I see that might make this illegal is the following:

"Your robot, attachments, and other accessories must be made entirely of
LEGO-manufactured elements in original factory 

condition."

 

So the question is: does the fact that the LEGO rubber band is deforming the
axle from its "factory condition" (or straight) make this illegal?  If the
band is removed the axle will return to its factory condition; so the effect
is not permanent.

 

 

Thanks,
