Not just in your mind - in the rulebook. It is against the rules to build before kickoff, or to use altered parts from a previous competition. If, on the other hand, you had a box of drill motors laying around, it's ok to substitute an old one for the one you just spilled your Mountain Dew on, but only because it was a kit part, and not modified before the build season.
