See <R42.B>. Also see the fourth item under "Electrical" in the 2012 FRC Inspection Checklist.
Most important, see the Team Compliance Statement just above the signature lines at the end of the checklist: (emphasis added)

We, the Team Mentor and Team Captain, attest by our signing below, that our team’s robot was built after the 2012 Kickoff on January7, 2012 and in accordance with all of the 2012 FRC rules, including all Fabrication Schedule rules. We have conducted our own inspection and determined that our robot satisfies all of the 2012 FRC rules for robot design.

So yes, better quality wiring inspection. By the team, for the team.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
