The Lead Robot Inspector's ruling is final on whether a robot passes inspection; neither the Head Referee nor anyone else at the event can overturn it. LRIs may consult with a remote authority (Big Al, for example) if they choose to. Re-inspections can happen any time, but will not change the results of a match that has already been played.

Even if a robot has passed inspection, an alliance can go to the Head Referee with this Q&A in hand, declare that the blocker shouldn't have passed inspection as it doesn't seem to comply with R9-C, the Head Referee then red cards the alliance for every match the robot played in with the blocker installed.
