For example, I had to make one team rewired their entire robot after finding they used the wrong gauge wire.. And had competed at 3 events before champs!

We can't retroactively red card teams like that. You would see half the teams at a competition getting red carded for one or more matches when we do the finals reinspection, as we ALWAYS find stuff that the teams hadn't had respected during the event. I really, really doubt you or anyone else wants us to go to that extreme.
I don't doubt that. At the same time, retroactive red cards have a precedent and that's why I think it would be a good idea to eliminate gray area when we find it, such as in this Q&A.
