By all means restrict the measurements for logistical reasons (e.g. only during downtime, when a field crew member or official is present to observe, etc.), but don't deliberately keep teams guessing as to whether you screwed up, in ways that are very likely to be pertinent to gameplay. The rule should instead allow the head referee to override specifications in extenuating circumstances (i.e. irreparable damage to the field)—so FIRST still has its out if the field isn't quite right.
[T30] and 5.6.2 are pretty much unchanged (except for a correction to a 5-year-old error).

I think they have that covered:

[T13]
The Head Referee has the ultimate authority in the Arena during the competition, but may receive input from
additional sources, particularly Game Design Committee members, FIRST personnel, and technical staff that may
be present at the event. The Head Referee rulings are final. The Referee will not review recorded replays under any circumstances.
