Also, correct me if I am wrong but it looks like the motor limit isn’t lower if you used Pneumatics this year.

Game Manual: https://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/21-22/tipping-point/Game-Manual-1.1.pdf

Robots use one control system. Robots may use a V5 Robot Brain, up to eight (8) V5 Smart Motors, and a legal VRC pneumatic system.

I seem to recall there was a lower limit to the number of motors if you used pneumatics but according to R18, it looks like you CAN use 8 motors AND a pneumatic system.

Again… please correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct !! :grinning:
