Unless their robot has not passed inspection, in which case they are in violation of <T03>... That's debatable, but it also can make sense. In which case, the entire alliance gets a red card.

There's a lot of pressure this year to either pass inspection or not show up at all. Not showing up gives you a red card... but showing up with a non-passed robot gives your partners a red card too, even if the robot doesn't play. At least, that's how I read that rule.
