Re: Week 1 Analysis

I wanted to bring this up because it became a weird situation on Friday at GSDE. Early in Friday, a good portion of the teams (10+) had still not finished inspection. The queueing staff (including myself) were under the impression that a human player could be sent, even if the robot had not been inspected, to avoid the team getting a red card and therefore, 0 points. We were told by Robot Inspection that this was not the case, as per T6:

Quote:
T6
A Team is only permitted to participate in a Qualification or Elimination MATCH and receive Qualification Points if their ROBOT has passed Inspection. If it is discovered after the start of the MATCH that a ROBOT did not pass Inspection and the Team participated in the MATCH, the entire ALLIANCE receives a RED CARD for that MATCH.
Some more wish-wash later, and we were under the correct rule, and then everyone finished inspection .

Just remember! ASK YOUR ALLIANCE PARTNERS IF THEY HAVE NOT BEEN INSPECTED!!!!
