On the other hand, if there are no rules restricting their movement, i'm sure that's something that will be clarified.
I'm reading the same as you, but as someone above pointed out, there's no way it stays like this. Scoring gears in auto would become pointless. The first two rotors would be movable with just the pre-populated gears, and the three score-able by the robots wouldn't be enough for the third rotor.

Either way, I'll put this in the Q&A if it's not addressed by the time it opens.
