I'm curious as to what the penalty is for breaking a Robot rule after the robot has passed inspection. I would think that a DQ would be the correct call if found immediately after the match, but they may have already advanced several rounds into the playoffs by the time it is discovered.
I agree with Joe -- if all the batteries are identical to the two ES17-12 KoP batteries (and only one goes in the robot) then there is no rules violation.

To Joe's second question, suspected non-compliance with a robot rule should result in reinspection under <R113> or <R116>, and the non-compliance identified during reinspection would have to be corrected, otherwise that robot is no longer a ROBOT (per 7.2.1 "anything that has passed ROBOT inspection that a TEAM places on the field prior to the start of a match") and is subject to disqualification from the event under <R112>. When the non-compliance has been corrected the robot is a ROBOT again and can compete.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
