There weren't any this year (nor ever, as far as I'm aware), but my point is that "it's legal, because it's in the KOP" is not a valid progression of thought (except for pneumatics). The only motors allowed on your robot are listed in R29, which apart from fans, makes no distinction for sourcing. I agree that FIRST would never put an illegal motor in the KOP, but thinking items are legal just because they're in the KOP is not something to get in the habit of.
Being in FIRST and putting the focus on the robot is like building a robot and putting the focus on the bandsaw (or mill or lathe, or whatever you do your machining with). The robot is a tool we use to play the game, the game is a tool we use to inspire and teach. - GeeTwo [more]
