Re: Window Motor Dissassembly
my 2 cents (as unofficial as everyone elses)...

Rules R50 through R54 are under the heading "Motors and Actuators".
Rule R53 states the intent "So that the maximum power level of every ROBOT is the same,... The integral mechanical and electrical system of the motor is not to be modified."

Modifying a gearbox integral to a motor could potentially increase the output power of the motor/gearbox assembly

Taking the gearbox off and putting it on another motor can only decrease the output power of the other motor.

I think you're OK.
