3182: Legality of Modified Motor Caps of 5.5W Smart Motors
In <R28>, nothing is said about the legality of modifying motor caps of 5.5W Smart Motors. Should we assume that the 5.5W Smart Motor falls under V5 Smart Motors, or is it separate and illegal to modify?
Odpowiedź committee
The V5 Smart Motor Cap mentioned multiple times in <R28> is specific to the 11W motor, but the rule will be revised in the August 6 game manual update to extend the 11W motor's allowed modifications to equivalent parts of the 5.5W motor, including similar treatment of its motor cap as "not part of the motor".
