The manual is your friend.

Here is the relavent sections:

Quote:
<R58> Motors, pumps, and, Robot Controllers from previous robots shall not be used in addition to those provided in the 2008 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.
• Note that the Fisher-Price motor found in the 2008 Kit Of Parts (Part number 00968-9015) is different from the Fisher-Price motors used in most previous FIRST competitions. Only the Fisher-Price 00968-9015 motor may be used as a SPARE PART
for the Fisher-Price motors provided in the 2008 Kit Of Parts.
<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.

<R60> Items specifically PROHIBITED from use on the ROBOT include:
Electric motors and/or servos different from, or in addition to, those in the Kit Of Parts, with the exception of those specifically permitted by Rule <R59>.
• Electric solenoid actuators (note: electric solenoid actuators are NOT the same as pneumatic
solenoid valves – the latter are permitted, the former are not).
