On the website, Servocity offers a stock 90 degree rotation for the servos and also a 180 degree and continuous rotation option. I called them to see how this is accomplished, and they told me that resistors are added to change the available rotation.

My question is would these be legal under the rules? I'm afraid that this might count as "modification" or not be concurrent with the FTC servos intention.

Thanks.

You could also use <R51>B, which allows "An unlimited number of COTS servos with a maximum output torque of 55 oz-in and
maximum rotational speed of 100 rpm at 6 Vdc (e.g. HITEC model HS-322HD or HS-325HB servos, as provided in the Kit Of Parts),"

I am sure of this, however: if you use a servo with a different part number than the FTC ones in <R51>C, it had better meet the specs in <R51>B!

I'm not sure if having the rotation shortened is legal, but Q&A can tell you. It is a stock configuration, but still...
