Re: window motor backlash

<R62> The motors in the kit may not be modified except as follows:
• It is acceptable to modify the mounting brackets and/or other structural parts of the motors (output
shaft, housing, etc.) as long as the electrical system is not modified and the integral mechanical
system of the moving parts (bearings, bushings, worm gear output stages, etc.) is not changed or
removed.

The way this rule is written, we followed it. We did not remove or change the worm gear output stage, or anything else. One could consider what we did a modification to the output shaft. I do not believe this is or was illegal, we don't plan to do it again, but Im going to submit this to Q&A to make sure.
