There is always common sense. I mean drone quad copters don't resemble any man piloted vehicle I ever saw, but I would certainly qualify them as RC. I don't think I saw any entries that are cheating common sense, but the rules don't seem to exclude photos someone took at the park or race track. Even if someone caught the equivalent of Bobby Orr flying, maybe that belongs elsewhere in the forum. The rules don't even seem to outlaw plagiarizing photos from google.Like Doom mentioned, it's all in good fun. To me, if you are involved with it in some way and it is controlled remotely, I think anything can be cool. Maybe Woodie has certain criteria they need to adhere to, but as of yet I don't think that has been strictly defined. A lot of these weird remote control objects have probably benefited in some way from RC hobby technology anyway, so game on as far as I am concerned.
I think a rule should exist that the contestant should have had a real involvement or ownership of the vehicle presented in the picture, at least be able to produce it in real life. Sort of like 1:1 scale car shows. You bring in your car or a buddy's car you helped build and mutually decided you should enter it to win the trophy, something like that.
I don't think I really care about winning, though the Rig badge would be cool. I would only want it if it was honest. And with something I own or built.
