Good Afternoon Teams,
We’ve been reviewing the robot inspection process as we prepare for 2010 and there are a few things I want you to know. First, there should be no surprises for a well prepared team at the robot inspection station. The robot inspection details are provided to teams on our website in the game manual and any updates or changes to the game manual are first discussed by the GDC on the Q and A section of our forums and then published in the team updates which are posted on our website.
Second, if you have come to the robot inspection booth well prepared and are asked to make an alteration to your robot that you feel is counter to the information provided in the game manual and updates, you may ask (nicely) for the Lead Robot Inspector to make a ruling. The volunteer Robot Inspectors at each event are doing the best they can, with the training they have received. If you disagree with their interpretation, and can back up your opinion with documentation from the forums & updates, then you should ask to speak with the Lead Robot Inspector. This is the person who trained the Robot Inspectors for the event and who should not only have the latest rulings from the GDC, but who will also want to know if their Robot Inspectors are misinterpreting something from those rulings.
Third: If you do ask (nicely) for a ruling by the Lead Robot Inspector, his or her ruling is final.
80 days until the 2010 Kickoff
See you there!
