Good advice from Al.
Just to clarify: robot inspectors will be using a checklist similar to the one currently available on the FIRST site. Electrical insulation and mechanical fastening of the battery will be checked per item 22 on that list, and electrical isolation will be checked per item 36.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
