Long conveyer to move boxes

Actually, is it?
in the rule book it says
"4.2 General ROBOT Design
R2
A Team must submit their ROBOT for Inspection. The ROBOT must be built by the FRC Team to perform specific tasks when competing in RECYCLE RUSH. The ROBOT must include all of the basic systems required to be an active participant in the game – power, communications, control, and movement. The ROBOT implementation must obviously follow a design approach intended to play RECYCLE RUSHSM (e.g. a box of unassembled parts placed on the FIELD, or a ROBOT designed to play a different game does not satisfy this definition)."

How do we define movement? moving parts o the robot or the ability to move the robot with wheels etc.?

I very much doubt any referee (or inspector) would say that this type of robot would not be an "active participant" in the game. I would also Q&A this specific rule to see if motion of the entire robot (not just appendages) is required.

Some of the Ultimate Ascent robots had no wheels -- they started out under the pyramid and just climbed.
