This has become quite an interesting thread.
I am a strong believer that rules are for every body. But I'm not sure it's possible to fix everything, although should be tried.I know that my team is small, 15 kids, and this year has done so much for others, it became a bit load. I remember calling kids from other pits, and they said that they are helping there, I needed to yell at some of them: "I know this is important but we need you,our robot has it's own problems, I'll get someone else to help", and then I would go to a strong team and ask them to help. This is something that a lot of teams experienced(mostly the strong based teams), I know that if there were more work it would have gotten done, but it sometimes really hard, and not as worth as the kid who worked his butt off for 6 weeks not getting to see his own team play.
So illegal motors should be replaced, never seen a drive-train with illegal motors, so they will minimally will be able to drive their bot. Maybe play some D, until the problem is fixed.

A good solution would be to me is an early inspection. like the night before.
There is a limit to what your allowed to add, and you must wight anyhow. This way inspectors can have a brief look and see anything serious like an illegal motor. and point it out to the team, so they'll have a chance to go to their shop that night or early in the morning and on the next day be prepared to fix this early enough. Things like wire colors, are things that can be fixed in moments, changing a motor sometimes requires preparation to be done quickly.
This inspection cannot be full for obvious reasons, but it might spare time from the inspections the next day. I really think this could save valuable time for teams, and give them a fair opportunity to fix the problem(cause most of these things are done unintentionally).
