I'm going to be perfectly blunt and say I don't believe you have read that rule in its entirety.

R45 C and D answer the question.

C. one or two additional 2½” CIM motors (part #FR801-001 and/or M4-R0062-12) in addition to those provided in the KOP. This means that up to four, and no more, 2½” CIM motors can be used on the ROBOT.

D. up to four, in any combination, of the BaneBots motors provided in the KOP (RS-775, RS-550, RS-540, RS-395),

I read, and believe the GDC mean, up to 4 cims, and up to 4 BameBots.

So are the F-P Motors in the BaneBot Category of Motors? Or how many of them can we have?

No, an FP is an FP. You can use the one that came in the KOP.

On a more comical note, something tells me we're going to see a 8-motor drive train this year that has 4 CIMs and 4 BB-550s.

Imagine the pamphlet for such a drive train...
Blazing around the field with 2200 watts of powa!
Able to suck a FRC battery dry in 0.66 seconds!
20 ft/s!

In terms of raw power, why would you choose a 550 over a 775 ?

In terms of durability, is the 775 better than a 550 ?

Peak efficiency data only is listed below, measurements at 12 VDC.

RS-775 - 119W, 11360 RPM, 12.5 A, 14.2 oz-in
RS-550 - 99W, 17100 RPM, 10,91 A, 7.9 oz-in
RS-540 - 49W, 14840 RPM, 5.85 A, 4.5 oz-in
RS-395 - 25W, 13110 RMP, 2.74 A, 2.6 oz-in
