I have to disagree. With what I have read on the Q&As, and with the discussion here, I think that Joe is right on when saying that NO non-KOP motor may be used at all.

If it is a motor, not allowed. If it is listed and branded as a DC tachometer, then it is allowed.

It may sound like an odd statement, since some, if not all, DC tachs will have a motor/generator internally, but I think they want to not allow any non-KOP 'motor' from being on the robot in its purest form.
