[FTC]: How VEX-y can you get?

I noticed in the first part of the game manual that the VEX 393 motor is now a legal item for FTC robots.

As someone who was around for what was then known as FIRST Vex Challenge (and has the shirt to prove it), this got me wondering: just how close can a current FTC robot get to being a VEX robot? Obviously, you have to use the FTC control system...but it seems like everything else is in bounds.

(And the related question: Would such a robot have a prayer?)
