The only relevant rule is this:

<R38> So that every ROBOT’S maximum power level is the same, the motors in the Kit Of Parts
can not be modified in any way, except as follows:
• The mounting brackets and/or output shaft/interface of the motors may be modified to
facilitate the physical connection of the motor to the ROBOT and actuated part.
• The gearboxes for the Fisher-Price, and Globe motors are not considered “integral” and
may be separated from the motors. FIRST will not provide replacements for parts that fail
due to modification.
• The electrical input leads on the motors may be trimmed to length as necessary.
The intent is to allow teams to modify mounting tabs and the like, not to gain a weight reduction by
potentially compromising the structural integrity of any motor. The integral mechanical and
electrical system of the motor is not to be modified.
That rule does not define what a "modification" is. I had heard a few years ago that a team had to get new motors because the judges ruled that they were not allowed to use the motors they soldered onto.

So...please ask at the FIRST QnA; there isn't a definite answer that I can find.
