I'm almost positive that they shouldn't be allowed to enforce this "rule" as much as it makes sense to have such a safety feature.
Glad I won't have to worry about it. My original team might though.
The only way my teams mechanism would accidentally go off in transport from the pit to the field is if we had a catastrophic materials failure from extreme unprecedented stress. Which can be said of pneumatic based systems as well.
However it seems pretty clear to me that all you have to do to not have to add a whole new subsystem onto your robot is not do this.
