Sorry, that would be illegal.

The only allowed modification is to replace that fuse with a 20A Snap-Action breaker, and it is highly suggested to do so.

From <R67>: The control system is provided to allow wireless control of the ROBOTS. The Operator Interface, Robot Controller, speed controllers, relay modules, radio modems, batteries, battery charger, AC adapter, and 9-pin cables shall not be tampered with, modified, or adjusted in any way (tampering includes drilling, cutting, machining, gluing, rewiring, etc.),
with the following exceptions:

...The fuse on the Spike relay for the air compressor may be replaced with a 20 Amp Snap-Action circuit breaker...
