For anyone going through the same or similar wringer, please note that a replacement motor you bring to the competition will bet COTS and therefore not part of your holdback allowance. Or so it seems to me.

It looks like the 2013 team update and subsequently the 2015 manual have the part numbers swapped for the M7-RS-775-18 vs M7-RS-775-12. I just posted Q409:

"R18 allows BaneBots motor "M7-RS775-18/RS775PH-6221." Motors received from Banebots with an M7-RS775-18 sticker have RS775WC-8514 printed on the case, and the M7-RS775-12 motor pictured on BaneBots' website has RS775PH-6221 printed on the case. Was FIRST's intent to allow both the M7-RS775-18 and -12 motors? If so, please update R18 to include the correct part numbers for each, as not all Banebots motors ship with stickers. If not, please clarify which motor is allowed per R18."

And here is the spec sheet from the manufacturer.

I'll have to check the 775s in my build space tonight to see what stamping is on them... The BaneBots website isn't pulling up a picture of the motor for me right now.

Worst case, order a 775 from BaneBots and take 15 minutes when you get to your first event to swap it out.
It's definitely from banebots. We have the same motor from banebots.

Curious issue here.

The Q&A was answered:

"Thank you for pointing out this discrepancy! While the original intent was to only allow the M7-RS775-18 part number for the 2015 season, due to this issue Team Update 2015-02-20 revises Table 4-1 in R18 to include both the M7-RS775-18/RS775WC-8514 and the M7-RS775-12/RS775PH-6221 as legal motors."

devg29, your pictured motor (a Banebots M7-RS775-18/RS775WC-8514) is officially legal!
