Clarification on number of motors please
 

First yes I have RTM and the inspection sheet which is the problem. We want to ensure we are 100% legal.

In R29: Legal motors...

VEX BAG and/or mini-CIM 4

Here is the question:
Is it:
4 Bag and 4 mini-CIM = 8 motors
or
any combination of Bag and mini-CIM that = 4

In our first reading of the rules we read it as 4 of each (because of the and). Upon further reviewing the inspection sheet we are wanting some clarification so we can make necessary motor changes before bag day if needed.

Re: Clarification on number of motors please
 

It is the combination of BAG and Mini-CIM that must be four or lower.

And/or: Generally speaking (in the English language), that term is used to indicate: X + Y, where X and Y may both be = 0 (or not). (Sorry about the use of math in an English discussion.)

Thus, "BAG and/or MiniCIM <= 4" means that "X+Y<=4, and either term may be 0". If you're using more than 4, looks like time for a redesign. *reaches for BaneBot motors and PG71s*

Except when the engineer reads it as; 'You may use 4 Bag motors and 4 mini-CIM motors' :rolleyes:

*rummaging for BaneBots they haven't broken the leads on already*

Thanks for the confirmation guys!
