Re: Inspection Stories

Most of our inspections have gone ok, but these two were the worst:

- having to move hour high pressure gauge to the compressor output of the 120 psi side because there supposedly was a decrease in pressure between that spot and where we had it installed elsewhere on the 120 psi side (there isn't).

- having to explain that including more than one Talon SRX on the robot and not accounting for any of them on the BOM was perfectly legal because they are KOP items

It can also be incredibly aggravating as a team when an inspector tries to make the inspection a teaching moment, but the team needs to get the inspection done so the can get to practice matches. I know one example where one poor team had to endure 1.5 hours of this.

Since I'm not coaching this year, I volunteered as an inspector for the competitions I'm attending to try and minimize these aggravations.
