looks liek motor rules violations

That means you disagree with me.

If the blowers are modified to have legal motors instead of the ones they came with, they are perfectly, 100% legal (given that they also fit within cost constraints, which I'm reasonably certain they do).

I would assume that that is the modification made, and hazard a guess that 3 of the 4 allowed BaneBots motors are in the blowers now.

Bonus trivia: The last time team 23 competed was in 1999--think 2-team alliances. Back then, most of the non-bulk-material robot parts came from Small Parts Inc, or the KOP. Within a couple of years, Small Parts could not handle the amount of orders, so the allowed materials list had to expand. If 23 has any mentors from that era, they must think they're in paradise with all the allowed cool stuff! Particularly the fact that now you can use motors that aren't coming out of those boxes you get in January!

Very Cool! Glad to see your team is back and what a year to pick as well. Basketball game, your team number is 23, the same number as arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, very cool. :D

We've got our original coach, a few mentors and two drivers from that era. It'll be interesting to ask how the game has evolved over the years.

4th place success in Connecticut! Saw lots of good bots, nice people, and intense matches.
