Marty,
Inspectors will look at the device in terms of student/volunteer safety and how it is mounted on the robot. If it is unsafe in any way, we have to be concerned. If it is capable of entangling other robots or of damaging the field or balls, then all of the event volunteers will be upset. From your description, I immediately thought that mounted on Lexan might be a good thing such that no points or openings are available to fingers and balls.
