With the general allowance of 'automotive motors' how does a team determine what is deemed an integral gearbox such as the window motor vs a non-integral gearbox like we saw with the mini-bot motors etc. For example I saw teams use door lock actuators last year, those have an integral gearbox. Could it be modified? The rules were not very clear last year, did anyone get an answer?
