I can seen Robot Inspectors doing exactly that, before your robot ever gets to the field. An extra long arm is a potential safety hazard to people near the field boundary, such as referees, emcees, announcers, field resetters, etc. To protect those people, the Lead Robot Inspector has discretion under <R112> to keep any robot off the field, even for practice, until it has been brought into compliance with the rules.

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.
