Note that the Fisher-Price motor found in the 2007 Kit Of Parts (Part number 00968-9012) is different from the Fisher-Price motors used in most previous FIRST competitions. Only the Fisher-Price 00968-9012 motor may be used as a SPARE PART for the Fisher-Price motors provided in the 2007 Kit Of Parts.
