FTC has always listed legal motors. This year the "VEX EDR 393 DC Motor (with a single VEX Motor Controller 29 per 393 motor)" is legal. See here for listing of legal motors (p 32):
Game Manual Part I
The single degree of freedom applies to "consumer off the shelf" (COTS) components not explicitly listed, or exempted (like gears), in the Game Manual.
