They are correct. I know in Orlando when we mounted our GoPro we had an inspector check it and asked him to note on the form that he had. Minor change that added no competitive advantage to the robot (aside from the sub 1lb increase in weight that meant we were still something like 10 lbs under) but no reason to chance it. Obviously, there are limits, swapping out a zip tie for a new one or putting new tread on your wheels is probably not a worry. But if you are adding or removing anything substantial have them give it a quick once over. Can't hurt.
