R102       *STARTING CONFIGURATION – no overhang. In the STARTING CONFIGURATION (the physical configuration in which a ROBOT starts a MATCH), no part of the ROBOT shall extend outside the vertical projection of the ROBOT PERIMETER, with the exception of its BUMPERS and minor protrusions such as bolt heads, fastener ends, rivets, cable ties, etc.

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).

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.

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 150.0lb (68.04kg) (note that while up to 150.0lb (68.04kg) 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.
