That's the way it looks to me.

The pinion confusion is just starting....we built a gearbox that uses the 15 tooth pinion gears that we recieved in the KOP.

Is it legal to use either pinion? or do we need to redesign and use the 19 tooth?

Jim,

If the motors themselves are identical, there should be no issues. If different, FIRST could require replacement or allow both.

Inspectors will normally accept a motor on its markings and not on the pinion gear.

I would definitely post your concern to the official Q&A.

I checked it yesterday at 5:40 and it was not up, I thought they had nothing to say and didn't put one out.

Prohibited to have on the field, but for stands to pits communication we will probably be using one. Especially when we are in Pittsburg, international calling is expensive...
