Thanks Wayne, and I can't agree enough.
It never ceases to amaze me that teams get mad at inspectors, because they didn't read the rules, or are trying to make their own interpretations of them. We only want 2 things: a safe robot to all that may come in contact with it, and a 'legal' robot according to the rules, so that one team may not have an unfair advantage over another. We also want
EVERY team to be on the floor to compete.
I'll get to see 64 teams in 2 days at Alamo. Things are very hectic for inspectors during that Thursday, as we try to get all teams passed and ready for competition.
Good luck to all teams this year. It should be a very exciting competition!
