We've passed at our regional with no problems, ever. Our robots were safe, and we weren't really questioned about safety stuff by our inspector. Then, while we were in St. Louis, the inspector failed to pass our ball kicker because he thought "the engineering behind it wasn't good" and that it would "fail after the first kick" due to "extremely poor design" and that our team could "seriously injure somebody with our ignorance". So, we waited, got inspected by somebody else, and passed. When we told the ref that the kicker had been used in >40 matches already, he refused to believe us.

We've seen teams get passed with a motor at least twice the diameter of a CIM, and we've seen teams fail because their battery is too close the the air tank (??).

tl;dr Inspectors are usually great, but sometimes, you can get screwed.
