The referees may only reposition your robot if you use an external alignment device. This is all spelled out clearly in the Game section of the rules (I don't have time to look up the rule number at the moment)
Also, some referees may move or ask you to move your machine slightly if it doesn't meet all of the requirements for starting positions (Not completely touching a wall or bump etc...). Usually though, they will ask you to move it, and I've never seen a referee give a robot more than a slight tap to get it to move.
