<R36> So that every robot’s maximum power level is the same, the motors in the kit may not be modified in any
way, except as follows:
• The mounting brackets and/or output shaft/interface of the motors may be modified to facilitate the
physical connection of the motor to the robot and actuated part.

Al, While I generally agree that using the AndyMark (or some other) adapter should be the preferred method of mounting the big CIM to the kit gearbox, I cannot follow your reasoning above. It appears to me that the first exception to <R36> which you quoted above specifically permits modifying (e.g., by machining) motor end plates. How did you conclude the opposite?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
