Inspectors

Sadly enough I helped inspect robots at West Michigan and there were quite a few problems. Knowing our robot well and all of the rules made it pretty easy to spot obvious problems and yes I have seen teams use the wrong number of motors, the wrong breakers, wrong wiring on the pump, Victor 883's, modifications to the air cylinders, custom valves, you name it. The worst part about being an inspector or Judge is that even though you are there on your own time, including a hotel room!, people are upset that you re following the rules. And if a previous regional missed the rule violations shame on them, not shame on me for catching them. Especially the violations that are clearly labeled on the inspection sheet.
