It is a bit frustrating seeing things like this getting passed and then our robot is run over with a fine tooth comb.
If you see something that is questionable (or clearly illegal) like this, please tell an Inspector, preferably the Lead Robot Inspector for your division. This is especially important if the issue might have safety implications.
I understand that it seems like "informing" but it's in everyone's interests to have a safe and fair competition.
