Exclamation Screw drive motor
My team would like to use a screw drive from a garage door opener. Is that legal?

Do you mean just the screw piece, or the screw and motor? Just the screw would be legal, but the screw and motor would not.

Thanks! We will not be using the motor, but we are going to be using the track that came with it. Is this okay?

Re: Screw drive motor

Re: Screw drive motor
There is no list. Just follow the parts usage flow chart. If you are still uncertain, post in the Q/A.

You should be perfectly fine. Check the "Parts Use Flowchart" in "The Robot" section of the FIRST manual to be sure, but I see no problem with using that part.
