Re: Musings from a FIRST Inspector
I would also advocate that you walk through the Inspection Checklist section of the manual for practice. Have one of the mentors or more veteran students play the role of the inspector. Take turns with different students answering the inspection questions.
Do this today. Do it again in a few days. Do it again a few days after that. With my rookie team this year, we've gone through it about once per week, with the robot in whatever state it happens to be in.
A lot of teams will be attending some sort of pre-ship scrimmage. It would be great if someone at each of these events could set up a robot inspection station and walk through the inspection checklist with each and every team. Most teams probably won't "pass" at this stage, but it would be good to at least know what areas they should work on, especially if there's something big they forgot.
