I have seen that FIRST elimated (removed) the drill motors from the kit this year, so if there was a transmission design that used a drill motor, it can not be used this year correct?

quoted from kitofparts.pdf:
"Removed 2 Bosch drill motors & transmissions and replaced them with 2 CIM motors with FIRST transmissions."

It doesn't look like any motors the size of drill motors are included in the kit of parts. (I don't know the names of the motors below and what they look like)

Motor, Globe, w/drive assy
12 Vdc
409A587

Motor, CIM
Keyed output shaft
FR801-001

Motor, Nippon-Denso, Window , RH

Motor, Sliding Door
Taigene

Motor, Window, Jideco
RH or LH provided

Motor, Fisher-Price, w/21T #7 Gearbox
12 Vdc,, stall torque 532.19 (mNm)

I assume that you must only use these motors when you build your robot?

Please read Team update #1 posted yesterday for more info on motors. The numbers were incorrect on your inventory lists. Those motors listed are the only motors that can be used. Please also see the dialog between Dr. Joe and Paul Copioli on the mabuchi motor specs, in the motor forum (or search).
