I finally remembered my old password

Hey all, Im now one of the team 372 mentors. Its been a while since Ive worked with/on anything FIRST related, so this may be a stupid question:

At what point did that old window motor become illegal? I thought that essentially anything given to a team by FIRST in a kit, at any point in history, was still legal on a robot provided it didnt violate any of the technical rules (number of motors for example). The last time I compete was in 2005, so im sure there have been numerous rule and technological changes since then.

After some testing today, the team thinks the plastic tape and cog will work for the design, however things may need to be rethought since we cant use that motor.


cheers
