That grease won't help them if they collide with another robot at high speed... I remember from 2004 and prior about people using the drill motors with their gearboxes, without removing the anti-backdrive pins, and completely destroying the internals during impact with other teams.
I would at the very least look into the fact that there may be a problem down the line, and ways to fix it, if I were them.
