If the volunteers are for it, that could work. The folks setting up the field are often fairly well versed in the robots' more technical aspects and could give a size/weight/safety check before the inspectors get to do the full inspection. And the teams could help test the field electronics, should they be ready.

The disadvantage? The field may or may not be up by 5-6 PM Wednesday, depending on manpower and complexity, tying up the setup crew there, so inspection isn't set up. Counteract that by snagging one or two people per team to help the setup crew.
