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.

This is something that I brought up to some people on the CHS planning committee. They know it is a problem and they will be attempting to fix it. I suggested maybe training some mentors of the teams at the events to be inspectors on Day 0 of the events. This is something I would be willing to do.
