Question Torn Banebots Motor Terminals

Oy, Team 1850 learned a good lesson today:

Don't attach wiring to your motors while you are still moving them around and mounting them. We had the terminals on our Banebots motors get torn off and mangled (see the attached picture).

Have any other teams had this happen in the past? Would soldering leads back on work? Any other ideas or does the motor just need to be replaced?

(Edit: The terminal on the left is the torn one and the one on the right was ripped clean off

Even more specifically would this break R33 sub point b?)
