R501       *Allowable motors. The only motors and actuators permitted include the following (in any quantity):

R502       *Only 4 propulsion motors. A ROBOT may not have more than 4 propulsion motors. A propulsion motor is a motor that enables the ROBOT to move around the FIELD surface (i.e., carpet). Motors that generate small amounts of thrust as a secondary or incidental feature are not considered propulsion motors.

R505       *Don’t overload controllers. Each power regulating device may control electrical loads per Table 8‑2. Unless otherwise noted, each power regulating device shall control 1 and only 1 electrical load.

R504       *Power (most) actuators off of approved devices. With the exception of servos, fans, or motors integral to sensors of COTS computing devices permitted in R501, each actuator must be controlled by a power regulating device. The only power regulating devices for actuators permitted on the ROBOT include:
