I want to take this opportunity to thank all the inspectors we worked with over the weekend. On Wednesday we approached Ed Sparks, the Curie LRI, to show him what we had been working on. We wanted to get the inspectors involved in this process as early as possible, so we could get feedback on them to make sure this "Frog and Lily" setup met all robot and safety rules. Later Ed got Al involved, and both were extremely professional and helpful. On Saturday, Frank Merrick came by our pit to give us the final approval on the concept, especially in regards to safety. Once we picked 900 and started integrating into their robot, we had an army of division LRIs who worked with us on the inspection process. Overall I blown away by their level of excellence and focus on the job. I want to thank all of them for creating a "team first" atmosphere. This is what FRC is all about. In the past I've been very vocal about my frustration with processes that are not team friendly, but these folks were the exact opposite of that.
