I'll vote for that!!! I know of one team in particular that is notorious for waiting until the last minute to get inspected even when the robot is ready to run right out of the box. One of the reasons is there is no advantage to getting inspected while the field is open. So they keep putting it off as long as possible. But for a little extra practice time ...

I also like that it applies only to those looking for extra time. So everybody still gets the X matches they are intitled to, even if they are still working Inspection Issues.

The thought of teams racing to get in the inspection line when the Pits open brings tears to my eyes (sniff). It might even provide incentive to be sure things like team numbers are taken care of in advance. (sniff)

It is almost too much to contemplate, great idea Richard!
