It is hard to DQ a team -- full stop. No volunteer wants to do it.
However, I would not take the fact that the team had previously passed inspection into account when deciding or recommending a DQ. Many teams make changes to their robots after passing inspection. When this happens the team is responsible for requesting a re-inspection. This year I have seen several teams add bumpers or modify the method used to attach their bumpers after passing initial inspection.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
