Re: Bumper Inspection Discrepency

Unfortunately, inspection discrepancy is almost the norm. Everyone does their best, but, as you see in the Q&A every year, the rules can be interpreted differently. Further, inspectors really only get a limited amount of time with each team, and can easily miss something. I can't count the number of times we've had an inspector at our second regional make us file some sharp edges the first inspector hadn't noticed, or other small items like that.

Personally, when we're going through the build season, I'm always trying to read the rules in their strictest possible interpretation to ensure we don't get hit with anything at inspection. It doesn't always work, but I can definitely say that it helps.
