My point is the rule is open to not only interpretation, but also becomes a matter of opinion. The rules don't say must or shall be on the high side, but rather says must have one.
We had one that infact did empty the system completely, he just didn't like it on the low side, and seeing as there is no rule that says must be on high side it became his opinion.
How are teams going to be able to figure out what one persons opinion is going to be?

That's why teams ALWAYS have the right to appeal to the LRI. I know as an LRI, I will walk a team through any rule in question and make sure they understand why the ruling is the way it is. Most, if not all, of the other LRI's I know will do the same.
It's unfortunate, but it's practically an impossibility to properly train every inspector for every situation they may encounter when looking at a robot. I always tell my inspectors that if they aren't 100% positive about something, they need to come get me. If a team has a problem with a ruling, the inspector need to come get me. It makes it a busy day for me (50k steps during the 3 days at the Duluth regional alone!), but that's why I'm there!
