I agree with Cory. I thought its fair to assume robots are legal until evidence is shown that they are not. Innocent until proven guilty. In autoracing, a car would not be DQ's because they did not alert inspectors that they might be in violation to the rules. The car would be reinspected to determine if the car has a violation. Even violations carry different penalties. Bent frames carry no penalties but a engine displacement violation carries a huge suspension.
We could be like Golf where filling out your score card wrong can get you into trouble but that would be ridiculous. T6 needs to be cleared up. If a robot is suspect to be gaining an advantage by violating a rule, reinspect the robot to find evidence. We can't be DQ'ing robots with no evidence.
