Ken now knows how the cops feel.
I guess the inspectors have the option of enforcing the rules to the letter or to the spirit. It depends on the circumstances as to which is enforced. If the inspector can determine whether a violation is a blatant attempt to skirt a rule, or just an honest oversight, then he/she can make a better judgement.
My suggestion: Issue a violation "ticket". and make a record of it. If the violation isn't life threatening, let the team play because other teams rely on them. Give the team until Saturday at noon to be reinspected and pass. If the violation remains uncorrected, they lose all their QPs, and they may not be chosen for the elimination rounds.
Firm but fair. After all, you have to consider the teams who built their machine to conform to all the rules.
