(I'd guess that Al agrees with you on not allowing them.)

Which is why I suggested the team grabbing the LRI and Head Ref (forgot about FTA) and some practice carpet if Q&A gave an unclear answer. If the Head Ref points out that the robot is going to be disabled every single match unless something changes (G10), the LRI's take suddenly becomes even more valuable. Conversely, if the team is able to prove that they meet all the rules, everybody is on the same page about it from the get-go, and no further discussion needs to happen (unless they start damaging the field).
Is the burden of proof on inspectors to find a rule to disqualify or on the teams to prove they are compliant? Historically, it's been the former.
