you need to keep in mind that the purpose of the competition isnt to see which team can build the best robot
the teams have just gone through a complete engineering design cycle, and now they have their product on hand
and want to see how it performs
so rejecting a teams robot for some technicality effectively would reject ALL the work they did for the last 6 weeks.
you dont want to end up with a team not being able to compete at all.
I think one thing we can do as an organization (all the teams) is to be out there in the pits, and if a team fails inspection and needs significat work to pass, they should be able to find plenty of help from other teams
I know this aways happens eventually, but maybe we need a way to put together the people who need help, and the people who can offer help, a little more effectively.
