Re: WHAT'S A FAN!?

I can see your side but the rule that I point to...
<R52> Motors specifically permitted on 2010 FRC ROBOTS include:
A. All motors, actuators, and servos listed in the 2010 KOP,

This does not list fans. A word search of motor in the KOP checklist does not return any fans. Historically, fans have been considered something other than motors. The power available from a fan is tiny and often the rotor is an integral part of the fan assembly and not capable of being separated.
