Go to Post I volunteered to be the person responsible for the electronics and raised my hand before realizing that I have had almost no electronics experience. I hope our robot turns out alright... - Blue_Mist [more]

Legality of third party fans

We recently bought a number of 40mm computer fans to mount on our Talon SR ESCs, but this rule caught my eye. Since we didn't obtain the fans via a kickoff kit or via FIRST Choice, and they're not the original fans or bought via the ESC vendor, and they're not previously included in a COTS computing device, are they legal? We're not using them strategically, just as replacements for Talon SR fans, and they're not doing anything unexpected from a fan. Just regular 40mm fans.
