I disagree. "Used on the robot"... for the next match? ...for the rest of Friday?

I read "during the entire competition event" combined with T10 to mean "used on the robot" ...from the time of THAT inspection until the end of the event OR until a new inspection is performed.

IMO, reading "during the entire competition event" to mean the robot can only include mechanisms present at the initial inspection is "lawyering" this rule. Again--just my opinion.

This! I've seen one season of ours rescued by the pursuit of a complete re-design due to major systems failures. The re-design didn't work out either, but it sure kept spirits up heading into eliminations. To me, that is much more the spirit of FIRST...
