Re: Al's Annual Inspection Thread
Although there are several rules relating inspections, this one from "At the Events" is the one I believe takes precedence in practice matches...
Teams may practice on the first day of the event without completing the inspection process; however, if field personnel deem a robot unsafe, it will not be allowed to practice until the unsafe condition is fixed;
Field personnel will be able to contact inspection areas in each division, inspectors will walk the pit when not otherwise occupied and LRIs will make spot checks both in the pit and on the field during the weekend. Do not be afraid if you see a black vest checking over your robot. We like to see new ideas as much as the next mentor. However, often we are reassuring a ref that something on your robot is in fact in compliance. We do that all the time.
Also, one of us may tell you to take care of a drooping bumper skirt or loose bumper hardware or that we noticed something else. We want you to play as long as you can and that is why we are watching. You don't want to be DQ'd for something that we can have you fix before it becomes an issue.
