[Alavinus]

Now that the first days of some regionals are over, what do people think of the new team inspections? I am curious because I volunteered to inspect at VCU and it is an enlightening event. It is truly amazing to see what other teams came up with to solve the same problem.

For those of you that did not have a regional this week-- so far the main problems I have seen have been sharp corners, non-insulated battery terminals, non-insulated connections, improper gauge for wire application, and rotating lights that are not visible. Also, please have a bill of materials ready before competition. It is frustrating to have to keep asking a team for their BOM.
