After this point in time no ROBOT may be moved or repositioned until the match starts.

So, yeah, that camera is kind of important.
I agree that is what the rules say. But in a drawing is shows 6 inches of chain to allow play and in the rules 6.2.2 it says "The slack in the chains
connecting the structure to the platform permit the RACK to translate approximately one foot in any direction, and freely rotate around the platform."

So is it 6 inches, or 1 ft or three feet. Seems the rules and drawings say all three.

Not that it matters, it is tough either way.
