Really hope we never go to an event where you are an LRI.
If a team has built a robot within explicit and objective parts of the rules (specifically 4.11 and R77 in your case) and you fail them anyway, you're doing an incalculable disservice to that team, Robot Inspectors, and FIRST. I guess you can try to call it an R9 since that rule in theory is pretty wide open, but its implementation is not to make illegal things that are explicitly legal.
I'm not a robot inspector, judge, referee, etc., but myself and my students can in fact read official FIRST documentation and we would really appreciate it if those with power to decide whether or not we are competing within the bounds of said documentation would also read it.
Of all of the absurdity that fills these digital walls, this kind of attitude stands heads and shoulders above in what not to do.
