I102        *Get inspected before playing a Qualification/Playoff MATCH. A team is only permitted to participate in a Qualification or Playoff MATCH and receive Ranking or MATCH Points if their ROBOT has passed an initial, complete inspection.

Violation: If prior to the start of the MATCH, the team is DISQUALIFIED and not eligible to participate in the MATCH. If after the start of the MATCH, the entire ALLIANCE receives a RED CARD for that MATCH.

Please take note of this rule. It is important that FIRST Robotics Competition teams ensure their ALLIANCE partners have passed inspection. Allowing a partner that has not passed inspection to play puts the ALLIANCE at risk of RED CARDS. Teams should check with their ALLIANCE partners early and help them pass inspection before competing.

Rule G303
G303      *Start your ROBOTS. A ROBOT must meet all following MATCH-start requirements:
Rule I106
I106        *ROBOTS are off for inspection (mostly). For the safety of all those involved, ROBOTS, must be presented for inspection with the ROBOT powered off, pneumatics unpressurized, and springs or other stored energy devices in their lowest potential energy states (e.g. battery removed).
Rule I103
I103        *Bring it all to inspection. At the time of inspection, the OPERATOR CONSOLE and the ROBOT must be presented with all MECHANISMS (including all COMPONENTS of each MECHANISM), configurations, and decorations that will be used on the ROBOT in MATCHES without re-inspection (per I104) and may not exceed 150 lbs. (~68 kg) (note that while up to 150 lbs. (~68 kg) of ROBOT MECHANISMS may be inspected together, the ROBOT configuration used in a MATCH may not violate R103). The OPERATOR CONSOLE and exceptions listed in R103 are not included in this weight.
Rule I104
I104        *Unless the change is listed below, any change to a ROBOT must get re-inspected. A ROBOT may play MATCHES with a subset of the MECHANISMS that were present during inspection provided the reconfigured ROBOT still complies with all ROBOT Construction Rules. Only MECHANISMS that were present during the inspection may be added, removed, or reconfigured between MATCHES without re-inspection per this rule. If a ROBOT is modified after its most recent passed inspection, it must be re-inspected before it is eligible to participate in a MATCH.
