Re: Kop servo continous rotation modification allowed?
I would suppose that servos qualify as a "motor." Since there is not specific rule allowing them to be modified in this way or saying that their gearbox is "non-integral" I think that such modifications would be deemed illegal.

But, of course, this is just my educated guess based on past rule. As others have said, FIRST Q&A is the only real way to get this answered 100%.
