2 Globe Motors???

[ChuckDickerson]

I am a bit confused (as usual). How many Globe motors are we allowed to use on the robot this year? Our KOP came with only one as the Team Update #1 clarified. Rule <R39> clearly states that we cannot use motors other than or IN ADDITION TO those provided in the KOP. I happened to be reading through some of the Questions and Answers on the FIRST site tonight and found question # 1284 answered today (1/24/2005):

Q: You instructions for changes and the kit inventory listed two globe motors. I know you only shipped one, but we need clarification. Can we use two globes as in past years ? Please change posted information if required.

A: You can use two Globe motors. You were only shipped one.

What's up with this? When and where were we notified that we could use more than the one Globe motor than came in the KOP??? Does this apply to any other motors other than the Globe motors? Did I just miss some big announcement or something? Doesn't this seem like something FIRST should have made very clear well before WEEK 3 of the build??? Since when are we allowed to use motors from last years KOP in addition to this years kit?
