Just double checking that fingertech metric switches are banned for antweights since the rule states -"Robots must have an externally accessible way of being shut down (e.g. a power switch or removable link) that can be operated without tools"
Yep, as Fingertech switches require a tool they aren’t currently legal.

Sound for the quick response
Unless an event explicitly states that they allow screw switches automatically assume they dont, as most follow the standard BBB ruleset with slight modifications
AWS ruleset not BBB, we don’t have an antweight ruleset, but yes.

Yeah just to add, all UK organisers follow the AWS ruleset which currently doesn’t allow tools for power on/off.
We host our local organisers’ ARCS & GROCS modifiers for PLANTS 2v2s on our site.
Many other organisers have rule modifiers too - fully listed on that page (mostly around size limits or spinners) but all follow the same power on/off rules.
