I was under the impression that referees had to see the game objects inside your robot as a means of determining whether you are violating <G24>.

I thought there was a specific rule which stated this, but I'm humiliated to say I can't find it right now.

Edit: After much searching I still can't find this. I bet I made it up.
Now 148 can go back to our original plan for Tornado... wood paneling!
