 Practice bots are not regulated by FIRST. Your practice bot could have a flamethrower and a jamming device on it, and they wouldn't care in the slightest.
You just can't compete at a competition with it. :) - AlecMataloni [more] |

775 Motors from AndyMark
Since we can't use 550s and 775s from Banebots, has anyone seen a definitive ruling on the 775s from AndyMark (I may have missed an announcement)?
Assuming the AM 775s are still legal to use, would we be able to take a 775 motor off of the PG71 gearbox and use in a versaplanetary gearbox or would that be considered a modification? I see AM does sell 775s separately. I can see where all AM 775s are spoken for before 1/9/2016.

Note that the AM 775s are MUCH less powerful the the Banebots were. It has about 1/3 of the stall torque, with about 1/3 of the free speed that the banebot had.

Re: 775 Motors from AndyMark
With the typical disclaimer that 2015 rules =/= 2016 rules...
The only motor I recall where you had to use the provide gearbox is the window motor (and maybe van door or snowblower, but I'm not positive about those). Swapping gearboxes is otherwise entirely fine.

Re: 775 Motors from AndyMark
Since the bare 775 (AM 9015) motor is available on firstchoice, one would assume that it is 2016 legal without the gearbox.

Re: 775 Motors from AndyMark
The 9015 is a RS500 sized motor: http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-0912.htm
The Andymark 775 motor can be found with two different pinions and with/without a backshaft for an encoder. http://www.andymark.com/RS775-p/am-2194.htm http://www.andymark.com/RS775-p/am-2161.htm http://www.andymark.com/RS775-p/am-2766.htm http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2765.htm

That is Frank's answer from the FRC Blog post on motor controllers regarding the legality of 2016 motors.
