Re: Inspection process
yea our inspection went fairly well, it took about 45 minutes... they made us cover all of our electronics with tape. but there were other robots that had passed that had no tape coverd victors! but what can you do? i had ( by the 3rd try in 2 weeks ) gotten the electronics up to speck, so he had nothing to gripe on there, we spent about a half an hour filling afterwords because he said that some aluminum was "a little sharp".
the one electrical thing that we got caught up in is that i had used some red MTW for the globe motors, and coded it black with a sharpie and some tape. that wasnt good enugh for him. he wanted BLACK wire. so we got in a little augument, and at the end of the day i was taping up red wires...
also we have a little springie hose that provides air to the pnumatics on top of the arm, he said that it could get tangled in another robot; he called over 2 more inspectors and they "rulled" that it was contained in our envelope and so it was okay.
lessons learned: get black MTW
