Tools to get to Starting Configuration

Quote:
Q492 Q. Rule G.4 states that out of bound robot may be disabled, unless fix is quick. How quick? Please clarify. If fix is very quick (move a piece of tubing off bumper) can ref disable anyway? If fix happens more than once in competition, can ref disable rather than allow fix?

A. There is no formal definition of "quick remedy". In general, moving a piece of the ROBOT by hand would constitute a quick remedy while an action requiring tools or tethering would not.
I saw a team that used a ratchet on the field to get a robot to Starting Configuration. That way, the shooter was not loaded while transporting. The answer seems to imply that using a tool on the field to get to starting configuration is not permitted.

Any thoughts?

One could parse it and say: Using a tool to get to starting configuration is ok, but once you leave the field, if your bot is out of spec, then you can't fix it with a tool.
