I have been an Inspector for many years. I am currently an FTA, somebody who works out technical problems during a Regional and who works with the Head Inspector to resolve unusual issues that might arise. I think I can say with some authority that should 1796's robot interfere with another team's vision system, and it comes to the attention of the Inspectors or Refs, a crack programmer or two will be sent to the other team's pit to help them get their system working properly.

By the way, one job of the Inspection staff is recognizing what help a struggling team needs and then seeing they get it. The knowledge required to be an expert in all things is just too broad to expect it all in one person. But the Inspectors know people who know things and will send appropriate people as needed. The Inspectors are you friends.
