What is the maximum Number of motors allowed?

I cant find the maximum motor limit in the manual... Is there one?
All i found was

<R59> Additional motors specifically permitted on 2008 FRC ROBOTS include:
All motors, actuators, and servos provided in the 2008 Kit Of Parts,
HITEC HS-322HD servos,
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) servos (Innovation First part number 276-2162),
FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) motors (Innovation First part number 276-2163),
One or two additional 2-1/2” CIM motors (part #FR801-001 and/or M4-R0062-12 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.

This rule makes it seem like there is only a limit on the number of CIM motors you can use. So you can use as many other motors as you want?

Re: What is the maximum Number of motors allowed?

All the motors that came in the kit only. No more. For CIM Motors, you are allowed a maximum of 4. Servos.. well you found the rule. Re-read the manual for more rules.

Thanks,

Then there is no set limit for the number of motors you can use, like there was last year. That is except for the CIM motors.

No, there is a limit, you can't use any more motors than are provided in the kit with the exception of two extra CIM motor. When it comes to servos there is no limit.

You can however use every single motor that came in the kit if you wish (and need)

Re: What is the maximum Number of motors allowed?

There is a definate limit to the number of motors one can use this year. To be clear, one robot can have only up to:

4 2.5" CIM Motors
2 Globe Motors
2 FP motors (this year's only!)
2 Keyang Window motors
1 Denso Window Motor
1 Van Door Motor
1 BaneBot ES-540 Motor
1 BaneBot ES-550
2 Small Mabuchi Motors

An unlimited number of HITEC HS-322HD servos, VEX Servos and VEX Motors (as designated by the part number in the manual).

Big thanks to everyone with the quick responses.
Now we know that we have enough motors for our claw design and drive train.
