I did not assume that they were doing something illegal. In fact I asked a question "is there a legal motor hiding inside of that yellow case" because I figured that it might just be a gear box and the FP or bane bot wasn't visible. Unfortunately as an inspector I saw many teams come to competition with illegal motors. I'd prefer (and presumably so would the teams in question) to point out a possible issue BEFORE they get to a regional so that they can prepare.
