Robot +sub system > 120lb Reinspect every time unless subsystem is an identical direct replacement.

According to our drive team, the rule is different here at Essex.
We have a ramp that we would potentially not use if 2 other alliance members needed to use the feed stations. The drive team is under the impression based on RI comments that the robot would have to be re-inspected if they unhooked the ramp from the robot and did not place the ramp on the field.
I pointed out rule T.10, section F to our drive team. If they are really concerned about the re-inspection they will get an official ruling. I would think the worst case scenario is get the robot inspected twice, once with the ramp and once without. I can't imagine the robot needs to be inspected every time the ramp is added/removed from the robot.
Or, it could just be their mis-understanding too
