Unless no-show teams are given a bye, there are going to be quite a few red cards handed out early on. And if there aren't enough inspectors to go around, there could be some teams hurt unintentionally.

I see why it's there, but the entire alliance?????? The penalty is TOO MUCH! You've never been DQ'd because of what your partner did before, except in eliminations!
From the way I'm understanding it, there won't be penalties for no-show teams. It states that if it is found out after a match starts that a robot hasn't passed inspection, the penalty will be handed down. If I am reading it correctly I think the only situation in which this rule would be enforced is if a robot didn't pass inspection and went onto the field anyway, because no-show teams would be known before the match starts.
