Answered: 2-Wire Motor 269 Maximum Allowed?

[adunna]

We saw the rules about having a maximum of 4 2-wire 393 motors on our robot, and we were wondering if there is a maximum on the number of 269s allowed.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Let’s take a look at the VEX Gateway Game Manual.

**<R11> Robots may use up to ten (10) VEX EDR motors or VEX Servos (Any combination, up to ten) **
a. Of these ten (10) allowed motors, teams may use a maximum of four (4) “2-Wire Motor 393” modules.
b. 2-Wire Motors must be controlled by a 2-Wire Motor Port, either directly on a VEX Microcontroller, or on a “VEX Motor Controller 29” module.
c. Teams may NOT use multiple 2-wire Motor Ports, 3-wire PWM Motor Ports, or Motor Controller 29 modules on a single motor.

Thus, the maximum amount of 269 motors you could legally use in 10.
