Looking for any help from the legal experts out there. We were graciuos professionals and gave a spare van door motor to another team at regionals. We then proceeded to jam up our lifting mechanism in a later match - hence last van door is on our robot. Question is: can we use on of our van doors from last year as a spare for the Philly Regional??? Thanks for any input.

You can only use the van door motor from last year that looks the same as the two in this year’s kit. Last year, we were given two different motors (one was tiagene, I forget the other one), so as long as you use the one from last year’s kit that is identical to the ones in this year’s kit, you’ll be ok.
