Re: [FVC]: Can you change a vex servo to motor?
1. That's illegal in FVC. Motors cannot be modified in any way.
2. Why would you want to do it anyway? Just use a regular Vex motor.

If you still want to do it, we did this once a while ago: completely open up the motor, find the potentiometer (which is somehow connected to a gear), and remove it or push it out of the way.
I'm not sure about the stock, and I don't have a motor available to look at. Maybe that's what holds the end of the potentiometer.
