593: <R21> Custom Motor Caps for VEXU


ATUM8
16-Mar-2020

<R21> specifically states that electronic components, including V5 motors, may NOT be altered from their original state in ANY way. With many of the VRC restrictions being lifted for VEXU (in regard to being able to fabricate custom components per <VUR3>) and with the 2020-2021 season not being released yet, could a consideration be made for next season and beyond to allow VEXU teams the ability to make custom aluminum and/or plastic motor caps? The purpose of this would be to allow for more unique mounting methods to C-channels and other hardware. My team and I find the threaded insert method quite restricting for many reasons but primarily for drive trains. Changing motors on many drive train designs is tedious because a lot has to be taken off just to reach the screws for the motor. Any consideration would be appreciated. Thank you.
