How is that legal?

Edit: I see they were disabled. NM
It actually appeared that 2994 was disabled for violating G7.C, "When placed on the field, each robot must be completely outside the auto zone and landfill zone."

2994 had manipulators on either side of their robot that extended into the auto and landfill zone simultaneously. Since the fix was not a "quick remedy", they were disabled from the match.

As far as the transport configuration concern, I do not know the definitive answer but it appeared as though teams were allowed to assemble their robots field-side prior to their match. I personally only spectated on Saturday so I didn't attend the drivers meeting where I am sure this was discussed.
