2010 Gearboxes. Can they be used for Logomotion?

[Jon Stratis]

Remember though... they're only COTS if

<R29> COTS items from ROBOTS entered in previous FIRST competitions or COTS items that are no longer commercially available may be used under the following conditions:
A. The item must be functionally equivalent to the original condition as delivered from the VENDOR (e.g. a part that has non-functional label markings added would be permitted, but a part that has device-specific mounting holes added would be prohibited), and
B. The item must satisfy ALL applicable 2011 FRC materials/parts use rules.

So if you modified them at all, they are no longer COTS and can't be used. If they arrived from the vendor disassembled, to comply with both the letter and intent of the rule, you should disassemble and reassemble them before use this year (give that task to a new member who can use it as an opportunity to learn about the gear boxes!).
