Inspectors (Lead inspectors, at least) should also consider when to let the Head Ref know that there is something to look out for-- "Team XXX has an appendage that is mechanically able to swing sideways into the corner which would be illegal, but they claim the SW (or the driver) will prevent it from happening. Keep an eye out for it." Or something like that...
