Rules this reasoning is derived from are R5, T14, and T15.

Excepts from rules:

R5
The ROBOT weight must not exceed 120 lbs. When determining weight, the basic ROBOT
structure and all elements of all additional MECHANISMS that might be used in different
configurations of the ROBOT shall be weighed together.

T14
At the time of Inspection, the ROBOT must be presented with all MECHANISMS (including all
COMPONENTS of each MECHANISM), configurations, and decorations that will be used on the
ROBOT during the competition event. It is acceptable, however, for a ROBOT to play MATCHES
with a subset of the MECHANISMS that were present during Inspection.
Only MECHANISMS
that were present during the Inspection may be added, removed or reconfigured between
MATCHES. If MECHANISMS are changed between MATCHES the reconfigured ROBOT must
still meet all Inspection criteria.

T15
If a ROBOT is modified after it has passed its most recent Inspection, other than modifications
listed in A through F
, that ROBOT must be re-Inspected before the ROBOT is eligible to
participate in a MATCH. If any of the exceptions listed below result in a significant change to the
ROBOT’S size, weight, legality, or safety, the ROBOT must be re-Inspected. When in doubt, the
Team should ask to be re-Inspected.
...
F. Additions, removals, or reconfiguration of ROBOT with a subset of MECHANISMS already
Inspected per T14.
Sorry, I just wanted to make sure I understand the role, so when the robot is weighed it has not exceed the weight and space that is the limit?
