Re: Inspection Stories

I've had more than my share of helpful inspectors, who understand that FRC is a learning and inspiring experience for the students, and have done their best to help out our team, whilst ensuring we met the high bar to pass inspection.

That being said, last year, while working with a rookie team, we passed everything for inspection, except our inspector wouldn't pass us because our "Zip-ties were too sharp." Apparently, some of the zip-ties we used to mount our electronics to our boards were "cut improperly" and needed to be filed down. We said, "sure thing, boss!", never filed them down, and we passed again with the same inspector.

Sometimes, I feel like inspectors want to bully the newer teams, like inspection is some "hazing ritual" to go through if you REALLY want to be an FRC team.
