Great to hear Chris. Many teams have been suggesting this for years. Inspectors simply could not know what they needed to check for when the competitions began. Frequently they would reject a robot for a sharp edge somewhere and completely miss exposed wiring, or wrong size breakers. All inspectors I met would get better with time but none knew what most students know cold about the rules. Remember this is a learning process, and there are a lot of teams out there who do not even know the CD forums exist for all teams. Inspections are just a continuation of that process.
