When is a "motor" a "motor"?

Hi, this is my first year as an electrical mentor with an FRC team. I have been and still am involved with Jr FLL and FLL teams for 5 years so I am a little dazzled by the bright lights and rules of FRC.

My question when is a motor not a motor relates to "window motors". One of the students has found an off the shelf linear actuator that appears to powered by a window motor. I say appears as I have not been able to get a data sheet for it yet, but looking at the photographs it appears to have the same metal motor housing and connector as a window motor.

Rule R18 says "window motor" various - does this define a window motor as the whole assembly with the "end effector / gear chain" that's primary / designed use is for opening and closing windows?

Or is it the actual electrical motor component that could be integrated in to an alternative off the shelf part that is not primarily designed to open and close windows?





I guess the underlying question is - If the electrical specification is the same as the electrical specification of a window motor, would this actuator be legal?


Thanks.
