Unlisted Legal Motors

[ratdude747]

Agreed that tetrix motors aren't FRC legal this year.

However, there is a virtually infinite number of legal motors not listed via the junk yard PDV. Otherwise, if it isn't listed, 95% chance it isn't legal.

Sorry, no such thing as an unlisted legal motor.

This is not true this year. There is no PDV for junkyard motors, unlike last year. The ARA donation this year went into FIRST Choice - FIRST got a bunch of specific types of motors donated, and added them to FIRST Choice, and those are listed as part of R32.

The only legal motors this year are listed in R32. Anything else (from the junkyard, store, online, prior robots, prior KoP's, etc) is not legal!.

There is one kind of motor that is legal per R32, but not listed by part number. In Table 4-1, under Window Motors, there are two part numbers (262100-3030/40) plus the line "Various from FIRST Choice". Take a look, there are a few window motors on FIRST Choice in addition to the two listed by part number.

So, we have an explicitly limited list of legal motors for 2013. The table in R32, plus the window motors in FIRST Choice, specify all legal motors. Sorry, Tetrix and ARA motors are not among them.
