Why couldn't we use another (un modified) motor to drive this transmissioin? R47 talks about "modifying" motors. We demolished the denso motor and threw it away! R47 also states, "The intent of this rule is to maintain the maximum power level for each ROBOT" We didn't change the maximum power level since we plan to use another (legal) motor from the kit to drive the worm gears. Think we would pass inspection?
