This would seem to be a very bad idea in terms of maintaining the structural integrity of the motor, and a potential hazard. Or am I being overly conservative? Anyone have any thoughts about whether this should be/will be permitted?

The odd thing is that a teams has all ready done this. In fact this was the only arguement my friend had for saying this. I will ask him what team it is again though. I honestly feel it's a bit dumb but he said almost two pounds of weight can be lost. Anyway I feel it is a moot point because the question has been answered.
