There are also a lot of changes that happen with some of the roles. IE, Robot Inspection. It is crucial to have more inspectors on hand for Day 0 at the earlier week events. There isn't nearly as much time as there is at a regional to get teams through an inspection process. This role can be filled by mentors who are at the competition with their team and then shift to being with their team full time the rest of the event.
We are hoping some mentors will be willing to be trained as Inspectors on their own robot before the season starts so they know what the LRI is training inspectors to be on the look out for and how to teach their students how to build a better robot. Hopefully this is successful and is a win/win for both our teams and the events.
