Question on Using Motor Components

[Anthony Samaha]

Would using a component from the inside of a commercially available CIM motor for minibot use be against <R47>?

To be more specific the component is a motor magnet and its use will be not of one in any way related to a motor but a magnet to use to attach to a pole.

Rule <R92> states that you can use a magnet. It does not limit its origin. However, additional hardware such as steel plate or mounting fixtures are not allowed unless listed in <R92>. See this for the official word
