Pretty much true. The big need for RI's is on Wednesday getting every team inspected. It is a little easier at Champs because all the teams have been through an inspection already.
In 2014 I RI'd at Champs, and the rest of the time, I spent in the que giving a quick look for secured batteries, bumpers, and anything else that caught my eye. This year, I can envision having a few RI's for the que. With the defenses, this is a much more brutal game on the robots. Making sure that batteries are secure will be important.
You only need 1 or 2 RI's for the que (per field). In order to clear 600 teams, you are probably looking at 150-200 RI's for Wednesday since most teams will want to be inspected as soon as they unbag.
