FIRST made it legal to do stupid things to your motors this year... ie: drilling holes in them.
I have no idea why, but it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt, or a serious accident occurs.
After checking the rules, changing the windings of the motors
would appear to be illegal (assuming the reporter correctly described everything).
Excerpt from <R31>:
Quote:
<R31> So that every robot’s maximum power level is the same, 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.
