I was thinking of rule T8:
"A Team is only permitted to participate in a Qualification or Playoff MATCH and receive Match Points if their ROBOT has passed
Inspection.
VIOLATION: If prior to the start of the MATCH, the ROBOT is not eligible to participate in the MATCH. If after the start of the
MATCH, the entire ALLIANCE receives a RED CARD for that MATCH."
It mentions only passing inspection.

Just because you pass inspection doesnt give you a clean pass for the remainder of the regional. What he's saying is, through gameplay, your robot may expand; however that may come to happen. And if it is not noticed by the team, but is noticed by the refs, they can chose to inspect it on the spot.

If it is deemed illegal then, it is illegal; while still having passed inspection.
