Re: Extra Motors?
I was just reading the manual, and according to <R50>, it states "Motors specifically permitted on 2009 FRC ROBOTS include:
A. All motors, actuators, and servos provided in the 2009 Kit Of Parts, B. An unlimited number of COTS servos with a maximum output torque of 55 oz-in and maximum rotational speed of 100 rpm at 6 Vdc (e.g. HITEC model HS-322HD or HS-325HB servos, as provided in the Kit Of Parts), C. An unlimited number of FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) servos (HITEC HS-475HB servos), D. 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. E. COTS motors used as one-to-one replacements (i.e. identical vendor and part number) for motors, actuators and servos provided in the 2009 Kit Of Parts that may have failed or become inoperable." Then, If you read <R51>, I realized that there is a typo. <R51> Items specifically PROHIBITED from use on the ROBOT include: A. 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 <R51>. B. Electric solenoid actuators (note: electric solenoid actuators are NOT the same as pneumatic solenoid valves – the latter are permitted, the former are not). The Underlined area should read "with the exception of those specifically permitted by Rule <R50>." Rule <R50> allows the use of Motors in the 2009 KoP, which include the motors I asked about earlier. Now, granted it is debatable, but it DOES seem to allow use of, unless that is the "or in addition to" part. |
