4 Window Motors?

I was looking through the Q&A recently and came across this question:

Q. Per rule48 we can use: "C.up to 2 window motors ..." "I.up to 2 window lift,... from a prior years’ KOP." Does this mean we can use up to 4 window motors? 2 From this years KOP and 2 from a prior KOP(same motors)? If not, what if the part numbers are different on the previous year KOP window motor?

A. Yes.

To me, this seems to allow us to use 4 window motors (part #s 262100-3030 and 262100-3040 as specified in R48), 2 from this years kit and 2 from a previous years. Are other teams drawing this same conclusion?

Re: 4 Window Motors?

From the rules and the Q&A its easy to see that 4 window motors are allowed.

Alright, thanks. In hindsight it seems like a dumb question, but it didn't seem clear to me at first and I wanted to confirm with the community. Thanks.

Re: 4 Window Motors?

That is exactly the conclusion I have drawn and the design we are proceeding with...

So I sure hope we all are correct!
