Re: Banebots with Spikes
Wheeee! Yes, it's perfectly legal to run a 273W, 86A Banebots RS-775 motor on a Spike. But you know what? R50-A says that it's NOT legal to run a 172W, 63A Fisher Price motor on a Spike. But never fear! The nearly exactly identical in size, shape, weight, and performance am-0912 motor IS perfectly legal to run on a Spike.

Yup, clearly the Fisher Price brand name is incompatible with the Spike controllers.

(I asked a roundabout Q&A on this and the GDC replied that yes, it's perfectly legal to run more powerful motors on Spikes. I've resubmitted a slightly more... colorful question to point out the nonsensical nature of this rule. We'll see what they decide.)
