No inspector, whether they've had their coffee or not, should confuse that with a "PWM COTS Servo" (R29), which has to be controlled by the PWM port on the roboRIO (R54, R68). The RPLIDAR does have an input for rotation speed, but it is not a RC PWM style input that can be driven by a roboRIO PWM port.
The question for Q/A is whether this counts as "Factory installed vibration and autofocus motors resident in COTS computing devices (e.g. rumble
motor in a smartphone)." (R29).
