Is it legal to use a DC Drive Motor 152rpm on the hostbot/robot?

I looked in the manual and i was curious if its implied that we can use FTC parts on the robot.

You can use FTC parts on the Hostbot, as long as they comply with all other rules. They're COTS.

However, for the case of motors, you run up against <R45> (allowed motor list) not including FTC motors and <R46> banning any motor not allowed by <R45>. As such, that's a no on FTC motors on the Hostbot.

short answer

No

only on the minibot (and it is only allowed motor on the minibot...)

Thank you for gracious professionalism :)

I interpreted that incorrectly
