Re: PNTA Team 23 control system

With the added window, the wireless bridge lights seem to be as visible to service personnel as most other robots.

Does inspection need to be "on field" configuration?
Wouldn't it be perfectly acceptable for them to open up the box and show inspectors what's inside? I don't believe the rules say "must be visible for inspection without any opening of service panels."

If that isn't okay, then any team with opaque side panels which they remove for inspection is also illegal?

This is a very cool solution. Kudos to team 23 for the development of such a neat item. I hope it isn't ruled illegal due to Deus Ex Inspection.
