Using a better more capable motor does give you an unfair advantage over teams that follow the rules. Something small like a repair that puts you a little overweight or maybe an incorrect wire is one thing but I think this is way over the top of acceptable behavior.
I would have to disagree with you on this. If they had extra CIMs in their drive train or in an application where the additional power impacted the performance of their robot (like lifting a 10lb. track ball, not an 8 oz. tube) it would be completely unacceptable. As far as I could tell, their lift had the exact same speed and ability as it did during their regionals.
