That's a good question. Since it is not an explicitly permitted motor modifcation via <R47>, my guess would be "no", you may not remove the sheath (under 2011 rules).

The smaller WACO connectors need to be modified, they are hard to attach wires to and then plug them in so that they stay. I do agree with the need for gear boxes for the small motors, as a small team we can not afford to purchse them from andy mark each year. volume or direction controled air valves would be nice so we can control the pnematics leagally. Linear drive boxes would be great. Rack and pinion gear box to fit the motors we get with the KOP. Mounting boxes or hardware designed for the sensors as ours do not last long and eather get damaged or just quit working. A better mount and wiring system for limit switches. Addapters for the fisher price gear boxes like we use to get with the KOP.

Are you referring to the white Wago 734-102 connectors? We never have problems with those, unless you count losing track of the proper tool for opening them. You just need to use the right wire (stranded, 14-22 AWG) and strip it to the proper length (7 mm).

A modular system of shelving that permits quick access to standard size parts storage containers without having to unstack the totes sitting on top of the one you really want. One that permits a team to integrate them into their pit in a variety of configurations (8 high x 1 wide, 4 high x 2 wide, etc.)

Check out the one from Stanley ( can be purchased at Wal-Mart ). The comparments have 3 different sizes and are made interchangeable. You can move them around, since they are individual containers.

They already have one: Rogue Tool http://www.garrettwade.com/hex-ratchet-imp/p/76B03.01/

You can find them cheaper on eBay, though.
