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).

Power and air pressure should only be enabled on the ROBOT during those portions of the inspection process where it is absolutely required to validate certain system functionality and compliance with specific rules (firmware check, etc.). INSPECTORS may allow the ROBOT to be powered beyond the parameters above if both criteria below are met:

A.      the ROBOT design requires power or a charged stored energy device in order to confirm that the ROBOT meets volume requirements and

B.      the team has included safety interlocks that mitigate unexpected release of such stored energy.

The team may be asked to demonstrate these interlocks during the inspection process.
