Continuously Rotating Servo?

Our team prototyped a roller gripper using vex parts and it worked surprisingly well. I was astounded at how much torque those motors can put out.

Since we cant use the motors in our final bot I was wondering if it would be possible to modify a servo to spin continuously and still have it be legal under the rules.

I'm not sure if it would technically be a servo anymore if we did this.

But I found a nice guide on how to do it:

If it is illegal, are there any good alternatives? We are looking for something lightweight and compact.
