The rule is clearly woreded that way to prevent this exact situation from occurring.
Surely you don't believe this is true? You can pass inspection, but actually be non-compliant with the rules because the inspector either missed something, or the robot was damaged/tweaked during gameplay, causing a situation where it is out of compliance. You still have to fix it...you don't just get a free pass because you passed inspection.

The issue here isn't that 987 was discovered to be non-compliant after passing inspection and changing nothing. It is that they were not given a reasonable amount of time (as the rules call for) to remedy the situation and were instead immediately disabled.
