I think this makes perfect sense in an informal sense(ie. an official FIRST inspector does an informal inspection with no official paperwork other than unbag form), but I think it's being overly cautious towards an extremely rare problem. In my two years of MAR, never have I seen the cause of failing inspection prior to the start of matches be because of lack of time at the event. It's definitely a good idea for being an informal pre-competition, communal unbag "meeting/event"

What's to stop a team from modifying a robot after any inspection?
I'd work as an inspector a bit before saying the timecrunch is not a problem. Inspectors often have to go crazy to get those last few teams to pass. Some teams have no sense of urgency when they are far from being legal, with only 30 minutes left in the day....
