Re: How is 54" size limit being inspected?

We're certainly supposed to be asking this; it's a specific item in the inspection checklist. If this doesn't come up during your inspection ask the inspector why not.

At Hub City, afaik we only had one robot that had any possibility of an issue with this. I happened to be the inspector; by mutual request (team and the inspectors) we went through a reasonably exhaustive series of measurements to determine that there was no problem. We didn't have any kind of circle drawn to do this, but a tape measure and a little math did the trick.

Ask me tomorrow about GKC. At early check-in tonight I didn't see any robots that might have a problem with this sizing but I wasn't particularly looking for it, either.
