There are specific game rules that reference specific robot rules with consequences (like the bumper rules), and there are game rules that mirror robot rules (like starting configuration). But there's nothing like what you've described here.
I suppose if I were trying to make an argument for the disablement of a robot, I would reference G7-A.
