I believe this boils down to whether this is an inspector rule or a referee rule. Will a bot that passes inspection get penalized on the field by a referee or will the inspectors rule against a design and the bot never even make it to the field. I am thinking these are inspectors rules but maybe everyone else thinks they are referee rules.
