....
<R46> Items specifically PROHIBITED from use on the robot during competition matches
include:
 Primary 12v batteries different from those provided in the KOP
 More than one primary battery, or more than one back-up battery
 Circuit breakers different from those provided in the Kit Of Parts. Note: the
Snap Action brand circuit breakers provided have unique “trip” characteristics.
No substitute brands are permitted.
 Fuse panels different from those provided in the Kit Of Parts.
 Electric motors different from, or in addition to, those in the Kit, with the
exception of those specifically permitted by Rule <R45>.

 Any air compressor other than the one provided in the Kit Of Parts.
 Hydraulic fluids or hydraulic components.
 Lasers of any type.
 Speakers, sirens, air horns, or other audio devices that generate sound at a
level sufficient to be a distraction or hindrance affecting the outcome of a
match.
 Electric solenoid actuators (note: electric solenoid actuators are NOT the same
at pneumatic solenoid valves – the latter are permitted, the former are not).

as long as first doesn't explicitly ban that motor you can use it,
for example, the cim motor has not changed so therefore you can use previous years cim motors etc..





<R45> Items specifically permitted on 2007 FRC ROBOTS include:
 Additional HITEC HS-322HD Servos.
 Additional Victor 884 speed controllers and Spike relay modules, as needed.
 One additional 4-slot Maxi-block circuit breaker panel and utilize it on their 2007 ROBOT in
addition to, or in replacement of, the circuit breaker panels provided in the Kit Of Parts.
 One or two additional 2-1/2” CIM motors (part #FR801-001) in addition to those provided in
the Kit Of Parts. This means that up to four, and no more, 2-1/2” CIM motors can be used
on the ROBOT.
 One additional 3” CIM “Minibike” motor (part #FR801-005). This means that up to two, and
no more, 3” CIM “Minibike” motors can be used on the ROBOT.
 Additional solenoid valves, air cylinders, and connecting fittings.
 One or two additional Clippard air storage tanks (Clippard Part Number AVT-32-16),
equivalent to those provided in the kit. This means that up to four, and no more, Clippard air
storage tanks can be used on the ROBOT.
 Pneumatic pressure relief valves identical to those provided in the Kit Of Parts (Parker Part
Number PV609-2).

Re: How many Motors are we allowed to use

What about Rule 27 which states that previous part cannot be used

Quote:
<R27> Motors, pumps, and, Robot Controllers from previous robots can not be used in addition to those provided in the 2007 Kit Of Parts. They may be used as direct one-to-one SPARE PARTS for those provided if the provided part fails or is damaged. They can only be used if they are identical to the part being replaced.
I'm assuming if the part are identical they can't tell that we are using the same motor from previous robots.

one may assume, yet at the same time, they are sneaky like that, and may know by some means that we don't know about, best be on the safe side
