What's even more confusing is that R62 seems really to contradict BOTH answers.


Which seems to say that the output shaft/gear CAN be modified, but the internal gear system CAN'T be modified by adding spacers to reduce the backlash. All in all, I'm going to be asking for clarification about this later tonight.

I don't see the seat motor mentioned. I was operating on the assumption that gearboxes were fair game and was planning on removing its worm gear: it is probably classified as integral, however, so I will need to do something else (although I really don't want the weight entailed by a CIM motor on our arm)

yeah, they prohibit playing with 'worm gear output stages.'

Man, I thought that motor was going to be golden. What if we leave the worm gear on, but modify it so that we can drive our stuff directly from the motor's shaft? Meh, doesn't work under the new "spirit of the rule" thingy. Oh, well. That means we need another victor884 on our control board. Good thing we have 4 + 4 from last year.
