Making Motors

I know that it is illegal this year and in years past. However, would it not be cool to be able to make our own motors? Think about it, mecanum wheels without drive shafts. Or a high torque motor for lifting. I know that the reason for using pre-manufactured motors, are for safety, leveling of the playing field, ect... But, there is already 170+ pages to the document, whats a couple more for motor requirements. What are your guys thoughts?
