Q. Per rule48 we can use: "C.up to 2 window motors ..." "I.up to 2 window lift,... from a prior years’ KOP." Does this mean we can use up to 4 window motors? 2 From this years KOP and 2 from a prior KOP(same motors)? If not, what if the part numbers are different on the previous year KOP window motor?
A. Yes.

The RS540 is NOT legal for use this year as it is not one of the four Banebots motors allowed by R48. (Emphasis Mine)

[R48] The only motors and actuators permitted on 2012 FRC Robots include:
*Snip*
up to 4, in any combination, of the BaneBots motors provided in the KOP (acceptable part numbers are M7-RS775-12, M7-RS775-18, M5-RS550-12, M5-RS550-12-B, and M3-RS395-12),

The RS550 is a drop in replacement for the 540 and substantially more powerful.
