Jon,

I have attended the Suffield Shakedown (Connecticut's pre-ship scrimmage hosted by Team 176) every year and, in my capacity as Lead Inspector, always do my best to visit each and every team to offer my services.

The two big issues are that (1) most rookie teams do not fully realize the importance of attending the scrimmage and (2) only about 50% of the CT Regional's teams are in attendance.

I rather doubt that either of these issues will change much in the future but keep them ideas a-comin'.

Regards,

Mike

Postscript:

I had even planned to expand my efforts last year and had reserved a classroom for training of robot inspectors on the new control system. This initiative was canceled when it became evident that only 5 of 12 robot inspectors had signed up in VIMS at the time of the scrimmage. - M.
