There is no such thing as a frame perimeter violation. If the device remains within 20" of the frame perimeter, as provided by the rules, there is no issue.

If they use it in a way that is meant to damage another robot, they'll be penalized appropriately. That is a game play issue and not an inspection issue. The "Battle Bots" concern is not a real thing.
