You have two speed controllers controlling one motor (victors are speed controllers).

At least three of those are legality issues.

Put some other form of claw-opener on board. Or, start with a slightly open claw if that'll fit in the box.

Well The Power supply and pathway would not be during a match so those should not be an issue, and the is no need for two speed controllers at anytime.

The additional equipment on the field is a valid concern but my interpretation of the last update was that applied to the alliance station and this device could be left on the robot cart.

I'm not actually with the team this year but as they explained it to me the claw folds into the edge of the robot frame in the starting configuration and as such can't be left open.
