I can't speak for other teams, but we don't drill out the plactions and sprockets because we reuse them each year. We don't have a tremendously huge budget, so we'd rather spend the $25 a year replacing the fasteners rather than the $150-$200 buying new plaction wheels and sprockets to meet the letter of the FIRST rule.
