• Additional solenoid valves, air cylinders, and connecting fittings.
• Teams may purchase either one additional 4-slot Maxi-block circuit breaker panel OR one 2005 FRC
circuit breaker panel, and utilize it on their 2006 robot in addition to the circuit breaker panels provided in
the kit of parts.
• Teams may utilize one or two additional small CIM motors (part #FR801-001) in addition to those
provided in the kit of parts. This means that you may use up to four, and no more, small CIM motors on
the robot.
The fans use motors right? Unless it's a KOP fan it's not going to be legal. This rule in particular made it hard for me to add lighted fans to our robot, I looked at removing the motors and putting them in the lighted fans but it was just a hassle. Of coarse if you are refering to a KOP fan then yeah perfectly legal.
