You see, it's all just a technicality.

At some point, you're going to run into a skeptical ref, who calls over the Head Ref, who calls over the Lead Robot Inspector, who calls the FTA into the huddle. The three of them huddle, decide that you've got a device that you shouldn't have, but don't know how to rule that. They call HQ, and HQ rules. At which point, sorry, but you're done using that device.
Trust me, it ain't worth it. The last few times HQ has been called in, it hasn't ended well for the team(s) they were called on. (At least not the first time.)
