Re: No Bag and Tag Inspection at Championship

Yes, we knew. Do you know how hard it is to keep a secret? We are doing everything we can to help you get in ten matches this year. Please help us along with the process. Do not wait until Thursday for inspection. If you are making any changes, please come in and check your weight with the new parts on the scale to be sure you are not over weight. We have a record number of inspectors working the event this year and many more LRIs than ever before. Please check over my annual inspection thread as it might pertain to your robot. Be prepared! As always, we will answer any questions and assist all teams to complete inspection and meet the compliance of the robot rules. There is no change in the inspection checklist so Rev B will still be used this weekend. We will have a complete Q&A and will be inspecting with those guidelines in place.
While many of you may have been watching Chief Delphi and are aware of Inspection Rules and the Tournament, please make sure all of your alliance partners know and follow these simple rules.
In particular, G3 (safety), G4 (passed inspection), T6 (Red Card for not inspected), T8 (interchangeable mechanisms including changes for elims), T10 (mods need to be re-inspected) and all of Section 4, Robot Rules. This also applies to pneumatics rules using one and only one legal compressor, either on-board or off-board.
The inspection areas will be centrally located in the pit, as in the past. I ask that teams communicate with inspectors if they are thinking about making changes. We can advise you on how to accomplish your change and remind you to reinspect prior to participating in a match.
As pointed out in a different thread, you will need your driver's station for inspection and you will need to show your BOM to complete the process.
