Are they okay if they never use that part again (a "permanent" change)? What determines when mechanisms are considered reconfigurable and thus R05 matters?
Interesting line of questioning. I know in KC we went by the inspector station when making our pick list to check on robot weights. Anybody who didn't have enough weight left to add a blocker without removing something was scrutinized. I do know of at least 1 robot that was listed at 120 lbs that added a pool noodle blocker for elims. I'm not sure if the 120 was incorrectly listed in the inspector station, or if they removed something to add the blocker.
