All right, I'll see what I can do here. First off, sanddrag, there is a phrase quoted by brandy836:

So, you can't use it in addition to the ones in the kit. However, you are allowed to use it as a spare.

brandy836, you can use the small CIMs as spares. However, if you are planning on using more than two, I'd be on the safe side and get the two more you can use. I'm not sure if you can use previous years' motors instead of this year's extra two, which is what you seem to want to do.

RonStoppable102: It is legal, AS LONG AS you have no more than 4 small CIM motors on your robot total. There is no limit on what motors you can use for what function, other than they have to be on the allowed list.
