Answered: Etching parts for Inventory Control?

Etching cortexes, joysticks, Vexnet keys, motors, sensors and batteries for Inventory Control?

The following is noted from the official rules:

<R15> Parts may NOT be modified as follows:
a. Motors (including the internal PTC), extension cords, sensors, controllers, battery packs,
reservoirs, solenoids, pistons and any other electrical component or pneumatics component of
the VEX Robotics Design System may NOT be altered from their original state in ANY way.

Noting the emphasis on ANY vs. the common practice of marking motors with ink and the Precision Hydrographics post on the VEX Robotics Facebook page, we would like to know whether etching the outer plastic case of competition cortexes, joysticks, Vexnet keys, motors, sensors and batteries for Inventory Control would be legal?

Yes, this is legal.
