Ordering the motors is easy. It's their gearbox lead time that gets you.

The best solution would be to introduce some free-market competition, like if AndyMark were to introduce a COTS adapter plate to mount the 540/550 or 775 on one of their planetary gearboxes, for the teams that don't have easy access to a machine shop to make/modify their own.
