Re: Tips from a veteran Robot Inspector

I'll add what I saw at the Smoky Mountains Regional.

I saw several breakers that were hard to get to. One team had their breaker inside a plexiglass box. I asked them how they turned on their bot and they told me they remove the front bumper, remove the two screws holding the lid down and then turn on/off the switch. I got them to put in a hole in the side of the box.
Also, please go over your pneumatic schematic and be sure everything is in it's place. Just saying.

Also, I had fun at SMR. Ed was great to work for.

FYI, only use one tag on your bagged robot
