Re: Advice from a grumpy old man :)

Great way to make inspectors happy:

Walk up to the inspection station as soon as it's open, with your bumpers off the robot, and request the size/weight inspection. If you pass that, get everything else checked while you're there. No line, one more team has at least a partial, and you never have to take the bumpers off again until your next size/weight check.

The more teams inspected by noon, the happier the inspectors are. Hint: If you've already been at another event, inspect right away, unless you're making modifications.
