Re: Vacuum Motors

Conceivably, you could use any of the 2013 motors from a rules compliance standpoint. Vacuum devices are not considered pneumatic components, so they are only subject to the general robot rules regarding mechanisms. You could fabricate or purchase a vacuum pump and power it with whichever motor(s) you pleased.

As per my reading of the rules, venturi type vacuum generators, which are powered by compressed air, are not legal as they are not explicitly permitted in R78.
