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.

Exceptions are listed in A through F (unless they result in a significant change to the ROBOT’S size, weight, legality, or safety).

A.      addition, relocation, or removal of fasteners (e.g. cable ties, tape, and rivets),

B.      addition, relocation, or removal of labeling or marking,

C.      revision of ROBOT code,

D.      replacement of a COTS COMPONENT with an identical COTS COMPONENT,

E.      replacement of a MECHANISM with an identical MECHANISM (size, weight, material), and

F.      additions, removals, or reconfiguration of ROBOT with a subset of MECHANISMS already inspected per I103.
