Re: Inspection Stories

Last year at one of our inspections the inspector was adamant that because our robot's arm laid above some electronics, the electronics below were unsafe to get to, and therefore "not easily visible" (and the starting configuration of the arm was up out of the way, even). My kids argued the point with him for a few minutes to no avail, until one of the mentors suggested he ask the LRI.

The LRI came back with the inspector, lifted the arm up to it's resting position, and walked away without saying a word.

Most of our inspection experiences are great, and I even enjoy some of the lighthearted ribbing, or the ol' foot-on-the-scale scare, but sometimes it does feel like inspectors are out to find things to fix no matter what.
