Adding, removing, then adding a part

I pointed out rule T.10, section F to our drive team. If they are really concerned about the re-inspection they will get an official ruling. I would think the worst case scenario is get the robot inspected twice, once with the ramp and once without. I can't imagine the robot needs to be inspected every time the ramp is added/removed from the robot.

Or, it could just be their mis-understanding too

If this really is a problem at Essex (shouldn't be, but should isn't always would), you could just include a mount for the ramp and tether on the robot that keeps it out of the way (e.g. in the transport configuration) and mount it there when you work the landfill, and place it on the floor when working the chute.
