This is all well plowed ground. FIRST is adamant about these types of rules. They view them as major safety concerns. You can argue till you're blue in the face, but it will not get your robot past inspection.

My advice. Save yourself the trouble. Plan on making the changes to your robot necessary to allow you to use mod free cylinders.
