Re: Sorry--clarification on the rules about motors?
<<<When reading these Rules, please use technical common sense (engineering thinking) rather than “lawyering” the interpretation and splitting hairs over the precise wording in an attempt to find loopholes. Try to understand the reasoning behind a rule. >>>

The reasoning behind this rule is to prevent a motor count on the robot that is greater than quantity and type of motors that came in the KOP. The one exception is the two additional CIM motors, not counting servos. Prior KOP motors, unmodified, are identical COTS items. You guys are lawyering the rules, in this case to regulate the source for a COTS item. That is totally nuts.
