I305 *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 recently passed inspection, it must be re-inspected before the ROBOT is eligible to participate in a MATCH.
Exceptions are listed below (unless they result in a significant change to the ROBOTS size, 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. addition, relocation, or replacement of the team SIGN,
D. revision of ROBOT code,
E. replacement of a COMPONENT with an identical COMPONENT,
F. replacement of a MECHANISM with an identical MECHANISM (size, weight, material), and
G. additions, removals, or reconfiguration of ROBOT with a subset of MECHANISMS already inspected per I304
Violation: ROBOT must be inspected before participating in a MATCH or the team will receive a RED CARD.
