It also virtually eliminates the huge bottleneck at the inspection station when you have 50 teams converging on one spot simultaneously. Plus, the 'experts' are usually found near the pits, so when a question arises, expertise is found quickly, thus expediting inspections.
I have been at regionals where both ways were used, the "mobile inspector" seems to work the best.
One issue I always see is inefficiency in teams communicating inspection readiness. Maybe give the team small cards - when the roving inspector sees the card, they stop and inspect that subsystem. (This as a supplement to visiting the inspection station and asking for an inspection)
