The FTA, LRI, & head Referee have some overlap in there duties. One hopes that they will act like grown ups in their interactions. My experience is that they generally do. Section 5.5.2 gives the LRI final authority on robot components. Section 5.5.3 gives the head referee final authority in the arena including what is allowed in the arena. So even if the head referee was wrong, section 5.5.3 would apply giving the referee final authority in the arena. Somebody has to be King.
