Re: Can we use a manufactured winch?
That winch does not have a FIRST approved motor.
Unless you change out the motor to an approved one (listed in the game manual) then no, it won't be legal.

Re: Can we use a manufactured winch?
The winch that we got did not come with a motor, and we planned on using gears and a FIRST approved motor. What we were worried about was the winch itself and the fact that it is a manufactured part. We just wanted to make sure that using it wasn't going against regulations.
