Re: Do fans count as motors?

Kit and first choice are legal for any use (according to the robot rules), other computing fans have to be integral to a COTS computing device used on the robot. You can't just go buy a computer fan and use it without the computer, unless it's one from the KOP or FIRST Choice. The intent is to make computing devices with integral hard drives and fans legal, not to open up additional motors for free use on the robot.
