My understanding of the role of an inspector is to ensure that safe, compliant robots are able to play against other safe, compliant robots. The key point that is always made is that inspection is not an adversarial process where the inspector is trying to fail a team, rather that the inspector and team share a common goal in ensuring that all robots on the field are safe and compliant.



In this context, however, it is also crucial to remember that FRC isn't really about the robots. The game and the machines are a means to an end.
