I personally will be fairly busy organizing our team at competition. But 229 will definitely have volunteers doing inspection.

I think this is a great idea, I'm glad FIRST did it this way.
I'm curious to see what kind of consistency we can expect from regional to regional, inspection team to inspection team.

I'm worried, some teams may be penalized, simply because they got a "nit picking" inspector, versus one that has a more "liberal..." outlook on FIRST rules. An example of this will be light display. I personally feel that any light that is visible is legal. Others take the 4" rule rather literally. I hope that after the 1st week, when the "light fatalities" reach high numbers FIRST will become more lenient with this rule.

I guess we'll have to see how this pans out.
