Had the inspector realized this during the initial inspection, it would have been a breeze to fix that issue thursday itself when the frame was already ripped apart.

Had this issue also been noticed at initial inspection, the problem could have been fixed on thursday itself.
Maybe other teams have had a different experience, but this seems very unusual to me. My team's robots have violated a number of different rules over the years. In every case, the inspector finished the inspection save for the items that needed to be fixed, left us to fix them, and then gave us the seal of approval once we fixed all the problems they identified. It makes sense from the RI's perspective as well. It's a waste of their time to keep coming back to the same team, telling them to fix one thing, walking away, coming back minutes later, rinse and repeat. Maybe the MAR inspectors are usually nice (or lazy), but I imagine this should be common across FIRST.
