Re: Can we use an FTC Motor (DC Drive Motor 152rpm) on the hostbot/robot?

You can use FTC parts on the Hostbot, as long as they comply with all other rules. They're COTS.

However, for the case of motors, you run up against <R45> (allowed motor list) not including FTC motors and <R46> banning any motor not allowed by <R45>. As such, that's a no on FTC motors on the Hostbot.
