Re: update 8 clarification, drill motor and blue wires
our team actually did the same thing, before the update regarding the wires. In order to fix the problem, we simply re-soldered the wires to the electric connects. We've run the motor qutie a bit and nothing seems to be wrong with them. We were stuck and so we just don't plan on letting the inspectors know about the little re-wiring. The rule is there to keep rookie teams from melting their motors and there realyl is no way to tell the difference between the way you soldered on the wires and the way the corporation soldered them. I would be quite careful though re-soldering those wires on...using some needlenose pliers as heatsink would be such a bad idea.
