I believe we chose to not use this exact same transmission this year for this specific reason.
If our interpretation is not correct, we might be able to help you out. Can someone verify if this is a correct interpretation?

It's legal.

<R29> COTS items from ROBOTS entered in previous FIRST competitions or COTS items that are
no longer commercially available may be used under the following conditions:
A. The item must be functionally equivalent to the original condition as delivered from the
VENDOR (e.g. a part that has non-functional label markings added would be permitted,
but a part that has device-specific mounting holes added would be prohibited), and
B. The item must satisfy ALL applicable 2011 FRC materials/parts use rules.

36mm, 64:1 ratio, Banebots transmissions came in the 2007 KOP as well, so any team around that year should have one.
