Minibot Motors
Is there any restriction on Minibot motors? The rules do not specify

Re: Minibot Motors
There is a very specific limit on motors. The robot section of the manual, 4.3.14, <R92> says you can only use two DC motors of a specific part number. I assume they are the ones included in the FTC kit on FIRST Choice.

MS Word translates it as: "We are using the engines of lego apparently can!"

Which is a very incorrect assessment by <R92>.

Has anyone characterized them? I presume they have 152 rpm at no load, and 300 oz-in of torque at stall...
