Seems a little blurry to me on the rules though this year... Is this considered modification of a COTS item? I didn't think that anyone sold these motor/gearboxes anymore.
R29 is a neat rule this year that allows use of past robot components and COTS items that aren't sold anymore, but gives the impression that you can't modify them if you intend to use them on your robot.

Steve,
It must be in an unmodified form before kickoff (it can not have been modified in a previous season). However, I believe that modification during the season is permitted under <R29>...
JMHO,
Mike
