Convertible robot?

Is is within the rules to remove/replace subassemblies from the robot between matches? Provided of course that the whole thing comes in under weight and both configurations are legal and pass inspection. Or would every change require reinspection?

For example, for a particular match the ability to slip under the Low Bar is desirable. Can you design a bot to make the shooter assembly removable for that match and then replace it for the next without queuing for reinspection?

BTW, I really want to see a fully funtional intake-shooter-climber that is 16" high with a 120" perimeter AND can negotiate all the defenses. I'm sure somebody will do it; I can't wait to see it!
