The ground robot rule is conjunctive: a device is covered only if it is foreign produced AND over 4.4 lb including any dock or charging base. Almost every desktop, companion and kit robot sits under that line, which puts it outside the rule entirely. Weight is therefore the fact that decides this tier, and where it is unpublished we confirm it against a supplier spec sheet before quoting.
