Re: Cim mounting Legal

Quote:
R30 The integral mechanical and electrical system of any motor must not be modified. Motors, servos, and electric solenoids used on the ROBOT shall not be modified in any way, except as follows:
A. The mounting brackets and/or output shaft/interface may be modified to facilitate the physical connection of the motor to the ROBOT and actuated part.
The bolts that go in from the back and hold the CIM motor together, in my opinion, are an integral mechanical part of the motor and not intended for use as a "mounting bracket" or "interface".

The front does not have integrated bolts that people use - it has tapped holes designed for use as a mounting bracket.
