Substitution of extra parts?

Last year, there was a comment about substituting items for some of the extra build pieces. For example, teams are allowed to use Small removable mounting dots/strips ...would blue (or white) tack be an allowable substitution? Similarly, we don't have pennies for counterweights but we could use similar small coins. I think we should apply the "spirit of Botball" principle here: if a team is using something that is a reasonable substitution that wouldn't give an unfair advantage, it should be allowed. What say you?
