Re: Need for Inspections Rules Changes

2. - FINISH THE ROBOT IN BUILD SEASON. This includes bumpers, wiring, and team numbers.
3. - CHECK YOUR OWN ROBOT FOR COMPLIANCE. Anything the inspectors point out, your team should already know about and be working on fixing. I should not have to say "where are your team numbers, or where is your BOM?" and have you reply "Oh we need those?"
4. - Make passing inspection an early-Thursday priority.
The problem is though, as long as the teams are allowed to work on their robots on Thursday, they will, and they'll never learn to finish it before the event.

Easier said than done. Especially for rookie teams. That is also why veteran teams are encouraged to seek rookie teams nearby them (and vice versa, the rookies looking for the veterans) and to support them, even by helping their designs in making sure they don't go oversize in their dimensions.
