Similar Rules

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.
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 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 R103
R103       *ROBOT weight limit. The ROBOT weight must not exceed 115 lbs. (~52 kg). When determining weight, the basic ROBOT structure and all elements of all additional MECHANISMS that might be used in a single configuration of the ROBOT shall be weighed together (see I103).
