The ROBOT must include all of the basic systems required to be an active participant in the game – power, communications, control, and movement. The ROBOT implementation must obviously follow a design approach intended to play RECYCLE RUSHSM (e.g. a box of unassembled parts placed on the FIELD, or a ROBOT designed to play a different game does not satisfy this definition)."
How do we define movement? moving parts o the robot or the ability to move the robot with wheels etc.?

I very much doubt any referee (or inspector) would say that this type of robot would not be an "active participant" in the game. I would also Q&A this specific rule to see if motion of the entire robot (not just appendages) is required.
