It's the motor type that you should be looking at. FIRST Choice offers van door motors equivalent to those in prior kits, and the GDC has declared those legal; this tells me that they aren't quite as concerned about source as they could be. Frees them up no end to concentrate on motor type. See the blue box:
Note: It will be up to the teams to show that the motors used on the Robot are legal by providing paperwork showing the motor’s original use, i.e. if it’s called a “seat motor” on the ARA receipt, it is a seat motor.
I can't imagine an inspector looking at that and not asking about the source... then you'll have to show that it's in compliance with the rules. And I'm 99% certain or more that it would not be based on the motor types in that rule.
