Pre-Game configuration

Is there anything in the rules that says it is not allowed to start the game with stored energy? For example: springs being stretched to be released?

No. As long as it's safe and follows other rules, its OK.

From the Game Manual

R 34

Non-electrical sources of energy used by the ROBOT, (i.e., stored at the start of a MATCH), shall come only from the following sources:

A. Compressed air stored in the pneumatic system that is legal per R79 and R80,
B. A change in the altitude of the ROBOT center of gravity, and
C. Storage achieved by deformation of ROBOT parts.

It would be nice if you could quote a rule, or at least the rule number.

In this case it's R34, specifically R34C.
