: Chris,
: You are not allowed to muck around with the worm gears this year (rule M18).

Yes you are, as long as changes are structural in nature. The modification of output shafts (which is what we were doing) is specifically allowed. While the changes we wanted were unfeasible with the assembeled motor, once we got good access to the output shaft they were trivial. After the mods we put the whole thing back together the way it was.
So even under this year's rules we were legal.
