Awesome.
They can't enforce a mechanical limit because of the home zone rule. Also, there are software limits. If the pots on an arm limit the movement to a legal range, it would be crazy for the inspectors to make the team fully expand it. If the inspectors ask my team that, i will state "Sir, we can't make our robot do that, it simply isn't possible with our software" or something along those lines.
