I suspect this is an important part of the ruling, and the biggest difference in my mind from it being "1 robot". If the speed racer config was PART the Fezzik (or at least attached together), and could be separated and leaving Fezzik behind, I suspect you wouldn't have had problems. Speed racer would essentially be a non-functional decoration component while on Fezzik.
If you wanted to bad enough, it doesn't seem to me like this is outlawed, even now. If you could make room, instead of dumbells, bolt on Speed Racer. It would look like one robot, and you could have all bumpers attached simultaneously for inspection. And to further satisfy the naysayers, perhaps you could leave the electronics in Speed racer and simply swap the motor cables and unbolt Speed Racer to change configurations.
