Why not? Its not like anyone knows the game yet.
I see no harm in pre-fabricating a drivetrain before build season, and then utilizing it if they choose so when the game is announced.
We are already allowing a 40lb allowance during competitions. If not then, how about 40lbs of pre-fab parts too? No difference here.

I like this, it allows teams to invest more in internal fabrication, students have more time to learn to make parts and those parts could be used in season.
It also opens up opportunities for teams to help out other teams when their fab shop has a lighter load. Last year, we really only opened our shop to other teams with broaching hexs.
