Re: Modifying robot at competition?

I hate to say it but I think adding items are allowed. The main reason that I hate to see it is because our full court shooter was shut down late Friday into Saturday when people caught wind that we could do it. The rule states that the modifications must still be within the rule. The field ref does have the right to call for your robot to be reinspected at any time. Also if you were to follow the rule to the letter, you would need to be reinspected every time you added a screw that was not there during initial inspection. In reality we all add items to the robot in good faith that they are following the rules and do not call inspectors over for every little thing.
