Student Inspectors
I think it would be a good idea to have students involved in the inspection process. They are the ones most intimately involved with the process and understand the kit and its materials.
Too often, inspectors have the list (the vast majority of which is electrical safety stuff) and simply ask: "all materials from the kit or additional hardware list or Small Parts, Inc.?" and the team says "yes" (when the inspector doesn't know what is in the kit, the AHL or SPI at all).
We all know of teams who (unintentionally or not) have violated the rules, but in the spirit of gracious professionalism, I suppose, we have not said anything. Having students on the inspecting teams would allow any concerns to be aired before any matches were even played.
It would also allow inspecting students to say "Well, that part isn't in the kit, but we can help you with a replacement..."
What do you think?
