Re: Musings from a FIRST Inspector for 2009
Addressing lukevanoort's concern: this year's robot inspectors are certified: they must pass an on-line test to become an official inspector. You should not encounter any "clueless" inspectors this year.
A big incentive for getting through inspection early on Thursday is the "fast lane" for practice matches. Robots that have completed inspection (i.e. passed and have the signed inspection sticker on the robot) may be allowed to fill in for no-show robots in practice matches. Robots that have not passed full inspection can participate in their scheduled practice matches after completing a brief safety inspection.
