Re: Update #8

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.

Mike

Re: Update #8

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.
