Re: 2012 Pittsburgh Regional

I was an inspector at PIT and I know how annoyingly long the final inspections were. It sounds like you had a chance to talk wih us but for anyone else who was wondering about the length... The electrical tape on the terminals requirement was in response to one team blowing up 4 jaguars on Friday afternoon due to short across the terminals. The other reason for the inspection back at the pits was to confimrm appendage length. We had at least one case of an over-length arm being added after initial inspection. This was caught during quals but we wanted to make sure that the finals were played as fairly and safely as possible. Next year we will try and get word of any changes to final inspection out to the teams sooner, and hopefully that will make for a smoother process.

Thank you to all of the teams at PIT for making it an amazing competition,
-Luke
