To be honest, I don't think teams should be allowed to practice until they either pass inspection or the LRI says they can (special cases late in the day, minor changes that aren't critical but may take time). Every year we talk about potentially dangerous robots on the practice field and with no official rules about "safety inspections" there isn't much that can be done. I don't remember the last time we went the practice field with out being inspected but I know it's not very often.
