Re: pulling gear on Keyang motor??

Here is the rule you mentioned.
<R61> So that the maximum power level of every ROBOT is the same, motors used on the
ROBOT shall 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.
 The gearboxes for the Fisher-Price and Globe motors are not considered “integral” and may
be separated from the motors.
 The electrical input leads on the motors may be trimmed to length as necessary.
The intent is to allow teams to modify mounting tabs and the like, not to gain a weight reduction
by potentially compromising the structural integrity of any motor. The integral mechanical and
electrical system of the motor is not to be modified. Note that FIRST will not provide
replacements for modified parts.


I think it is stating that we can modify the output shaft.

Am I reading it wrong?
