You can of course return the robot to it's original configuration prior to your next event and that inspection process. This policy has been in effect for many years. Prior to that, robots could have numerous assemblies (changed match to match) and only had to make weight with the heaviest one to pass inspection.
Are you saying that there are changes to my robot that I cannot make at an event, regardless of how many times I get inspected?

My understanding of the T08 rule is that if I have 2 different mechanisms which together would put my robot overweight, but individually do not, I could (theoretically) get re-inspected each time I wanted to change my mechanism out. I understand this example is not in the spirit of the rules and the inspectors have no obligation to comply with my request in time for my next match. However, if a team decides to change a mechanism by removing the old one, discovers the new mechanism doesn't work as intended, I'm under the impression they can revert the robot to the old mechanism as long as they get reinspected with the old mechanism before competing. They CANNOT assume that because the old mechanism passed inspection the first time, reverting after they passed inspection with the 2nd mechanism on the robot is legal without reinspection.
