    It'll be an AC motor more than likely, no real use to us for battery powered robots.

    Inb4 petrol engine>generator>AC powered robot Idk if the rules even allow for that.

    Sure, but some EO's might not allow you in their events because the venue won't allow it.

    It is possible, and has probably been done, but you can rewind motors to different voltages and speeds. Its very time consuming but can give you a very powerful motor that might fit a unique design of robot or allow you to build something more compact. I will say though that this is a VERY out there idea. Unless you have a real reason to do it, its probably not worth it.

    Chances are it's a split phase single phase AC motor. No amount of rewinding will make that a DC motor because it won't have any magnets/commutator/brushes etc. Suppose the generator idea would work, but there's no point tbh.

    Yeah, I know you're pretty much just asking for energy loss with that many different transfer stages, but it'd be a fun and silly idea to try if you had the time.

    May not be much use for robotics, but hardwire it and have some fun with it

    or have some fun with it...
