If the issue is safety related I cannot agree more - remove the robot from competition. If it is not safety related then let common sense take over and make a judgement call (what the referre should do).
Lastly, I checked section 3 of the competition manual relating to inspection. It clearly states that the robot needs to be inspected. It says nothing about a "signed" sticker before we can go on the field.
