True story. I often remove the vest and work under other LRIs to support them incognito. This team had something that was illegal and was challenging the LRI (a Champs division LRI) at the event. He asked me to step in and deliver a decision. The team member did not know who I was and he responded...
"With all due respect, I would like to ask a higher authority for a ruling." The event LRI had to turn away to keep from laughing. I was able to keep it under control and responded, "I am the Chief Robot Inspector and it doesn't get much higher." The team mentor recognized me at that point and they changed out the offending part.
