H10 on page 59 says

but, the pre-populated gears are not on a moving rotor so I feel like removing a pre-populated gear wouldn't violate this.

Also, if we can't move them, what's the point of having them? Just for the option to remove them at district champs and half champs? Thanks!

We were discussing that yesterday. Looks like one for Q&A. Also, they may be tied down somehow to make removal difficult (or field damage).
