Re: Metal Spur gear for Keyang motors

Rule <R61> allows you to modify the output shaft and/or output interface of a motor "to facilitate the physical connection of the motor to the Robot and actuated part." Replacing a gear pressed on the end of the output shaft would seem to fit within this clause of the rule.

If you are still concerned about the legality of using a replacement metal spur gear on the output of the motor, ask the FIRST Q&A system for a formal answer. But meanwhile, to save yourself some time if they confirm this is OK, you might want to start making chips.
