Re: Modifying robot at competition?
Yes, you're right, everything does need to be inspected. But, that doesn't mean mods can't be made at the event. They just all have to be inspected before you go on the field.
FRC 2789 did this at least 4 times this season, notably during elims at Lubbock. With the help of the Bomb Squad, we taped on a bunch of pool noodle and fiberglass rod between matches. The inspector was there, watched us do it, and signed off on it.
So, it's not that you can't make changes, it's that all changes must be inspected. The manual never says that there's only one inspection. You can get an inspector at any time. But, everything on your robot needs to have been inspected before you go on the field for a given match.
