I think the intent is that it is not, unless the group specifically allows
it. See this thread (this is a post from the middle... but it has a proposed
clarification in terms that seemed to be well received and that addresses
this very point)

However, isn't .robotics a special case? Not special in that it ought to be
exempt from the rules per se, but special in terms of difficulty of
enforcement. See the header of the group: http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/
where it describes that this is a gatewayed group that shares posts with a
mailing list.
I'm not sure which post you're referring to, so I don't know if it came from
the mailing list or not, but if it did, I suspect enforcement will require a
lot of finesse, or not be possible.
Hope that helps.
