Remove outdated warning about reprogrammable servos #350

Closed veernahar closed 1 year ago

veernahar commented 1 year ago

Servo updates and/or programming done using vendor supplied tools and vendor supplied firmware images is allowed (https://ftc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/7). Warning from before reading that these servos are illegal was removed.

For posterity, from the Power Play Q&A:

Q7: Using a manufacturer provided programmer, certain servos can be flashed with manufacturer supplied firmware to put the servo in continuous or standard mode. If the: A) person using, B) vendor selling, C) or manufacturer producing the servos was to perform this action, would this be deemed an illegal modification of electronics and thus violate ? For context, REV and goBILDA servos store the two different modes internally, but the swap is done via a bit-flip versus an upload. A: Servo updates and/or programming done using vendor supplied tools and vendor supplied firmware images is allowed.
