Re: NeveRest 60 in FRC

Dear CD,

As a robot inspector last year, I found one team had used the AM NeveRest motors on their robot so I had to have them remove the part before competing (and felt bad in the process because I suppose another inspector may have missed it, but felt better realizing that it may have gotten caught in a later inspection and they had ample time to swap out before their first match)

So, from an inspection standpoint, this solves potential issues when FRC teams borrow FTC components that may be illegal. To me, this is the biggest win for FIRST by making the inspectors job easier and teams less likely to make this mistake.
