1) <R39> clearly says we can only use the motors in the KOP.
2) We all got one Globe Motor in the KOP.
3) Three weeks into the build season FIRST now says "Oh yeah, you can really use 2 Globe motors if you want."
It is hard to say we will have to just "wait and see tomorrow" since we are almost half way through the build season.
Edit: Does this mean we can also use 2 of the Taigene motors as well?

The tether situation was merely an example of some badly-executed rulings by the Q&A team, exacerbated by inconsistent officatiation. It's not directly related, yet.
Since they haven't actually said that two Tiagene motors are allowed (only taking the unusual step of doing so with the Globes), I don't think that that's a good assumption; as I said, this will probably become clear tomorrow. If that's not satisfactory, call FIRST in the morning (there's a number in the manual), and they'll sort something out.
*Today, meaning just before midnight, yesterday, the 24th....
