Re: legality of PG gearmotors with obsolete part numbers

I'd say that they are not legal. R32 states "The only motors and actuators permitted on 2017 ROBOTS include the following" and then lists the motors. This rule makes it such that motors not explicitly mentioned are not legal for use in FRC. This is not good in my opinion but I'm not on GDC so that doesn't really mean much . I think that it would be a worthy question to ask on the Q&A though.
