Re: LIDAR Sensor with a motor in it

So based on the Q&A you will not find out until inspection. If what is in the Kinect is a "motor" not listed in the rules, you will have to replace it one listed in the rules (window motor )& control it from the RoboRIO. You are better off calling it a "servo". Hopefully the GDC rethinks this & interprets a fully enclosed COTS sensor motor to be equivalent to a hard drive or fan.
