Imagine a field tour video but of a robot going through inspection.
Brendan,
I start working on the Inspection Checklist almost at kickoff and we post it as soon as possible. It was available on line by the second week of February this year if I remember correctly. I want teams to check it before it goes in the bag. Bumpers should not be as big a problem as they have been especially since I moved bumpers out of the bag many years ago. Teams can work on bumpers right up to competition.

Don,
Brainerd does have a lot of hotel space but many are only open seasonally. They don't have the staff during the winter to stay open. (My sister in law lives in Nisswa just up the road.)
