What is the main purpose of the FRC Rebuild Rules?

The main purpose of the FRC Rebuild Rules is to ensure fair competition and compliance among teams. These rules provide a framework that helps maintain a level playing field, allowing all teams to compete under the same guidelines and standards. By establishing specific rules regarding how robots can be built, redesigned, and operated, the FRC aims to prevent any team from gaining an unfair advantage through excessive resources or design freedoms that would otherwise disrupt the spirit of competition. This regulation promotes integrity and fairness in the competition, fostering an environment where teams can compete based on their skills, strategies, and teamwork rather than on unequal access to technology or materials.

The focus on compliance helps all participants understand and agree upon the expectations of the competition, optimizing the experience for everyone involved and enhancing the overall quality of the event.
