Tristan,
Weight and size is performed with the bumpers off and the battery out. Inspection continues with no power until such time as the inspector reaches the "power on tests" at the end of the inspection.
As Mike has pointed out in example above, there will be mechanisms that require locking pins to transport the robot safely onto the field. I agree with his assessment. If removal of the lock cannot keep the robot within the sizing box, then it doesn't pass the test of "self-supporting" in <R90>. If the robot is prepared for a match by storing energy in one of the allowed methods in <R01> and the locking device makes handling and transport safe then as Mike has put it, it's use should be mandatory.
Again, until the GDC releases a rule governing this situation or the inspection checklist is released, this is my opinion and no one else. In training inspectors, I cannot advise them to inspect a robot powered, precharged, or predeflected until such time as there is a need to demonstrate the power on tests or the energy and travel of a moving robot mechanism as part of that inspection.
