Perhaps just make it a weigh in and a reduced inspection, or some honor system form that teams can declare if they made any changes that need to be inspected. We already rely on the honor system for bag-and-tag, so it's not that far of a stretch to do the same for championship inspection.
Chris, you are making the assumption that all teams are of the caliber of 51, have a firm grasp on the rules, and that every robot rules discrepancy was caught at the regional/district level. If this was the case EVERY Championship inspection should take 15 minutes or less. In my experience, this is rarely the case.
