There is a rule that tells you where you can get stuff
to make your robot: In the kit handed out at the
kickoff, from Small Parts Inc (subject to $ limits) and
from the Additional Hardware List.
Also, there are rules about what can be hooked up to
carry electricity and how it must be hooked up (even to
the point of what color & gage wires must be used with
which motors).
Finally, I know of no rule that says that XXX cannot be
used if YYY is used.
Taken together, these things limit your motors to
the 13 motors handed out at the kick off (not counting
the pump as a
motor) but they do not limit teams to only using a
subset of the motors.
I am interested to learn how the idea that only a
subset of the 13 could be used is defended based on a
reasoned reading of the rules.
