I purposely left out fixing the robot in the new language.
If teams can't fix the robot (or even effectively troubleshoot wiring, which usually amounts to the same thing), they won't be able to operate it to test software once something breaks. If the rule is actually followed, it would have about the same average effect as moving bag and tag back to 12:15 am on Wednesday.
