You are right. T10 is the rule addressing modification. I guess the question is when is a repair a modification? What about software that affects appendages? Anyway going with your definition we should scratch pretty much all the teams that qualified for worlds with the robot? (insert friendly sarcasm smiley here) If you are calling every change a modification, I guess that would include bent frames & damage from the competition. The rabbit hole gets deep fast.

The rules should be read with this in mind.

When reading these rules, please use
technical common sense (engineering thinking) rather than “lawyering” the interpretation and splitting hairs
over the precise wording in an attempt to find loopholes. Try to understand the reasoning behind a rule.
Even so the process needs to be better defined so teams know what qualifies as an re-inspection & when is it really required.
