VEX IQ Modified Gears: Slip Gear

Is it legal for teams to file down a gear to create “slip-gear” in the VEX IQ Challenge? I have found that driveshafts are the only part that is allowed to be modified. I have one team trying to make a “puncher” for the Pitching In game and I am wondering if they are allowed to use this technique.

No, that would be prohibited by R13.

But it is possible to design functionally-equivalent mechanisms without modifying any parts.
