How about taping a sign on each crate?

I agree with Drew - teams had to qualify for Championships so they've been through the wringer already. It's not like a team is going to rewire their robot or sharp edges are going to appear all of the sudden.

At Regionals, some non-compliance (non safety related) was allowed in order to let teams compete. One rookie team had their mechanism extend outside the frame perimeter. It would have been impossible for them to fix it at the regional. What do you do? Sit them out the entire competition? Or, let them compete so they can have the experience of competing, and see how their robot performs. This was an extreme example, but a lot of little things are allowed. And, as Ed said, a lot of big things are missed.
