Teams will already have passed inspection at a regional competition. They should all be prepared to pass at Championship pretty much right out of the crate, no? It's not like anyone will have made major changes to their robot while it was in transit to Atlanta.

I'm also afraid that FIRST is underestimating the amount of time it will take to inspect 380-something teams. Last year it took us over an hour to go through inspection. Granted, changes can be made to the inspection process to speed things up... Let just hope FIRST makes those changes.
This is a real concern. Even if it only takes ten minutes per team, that's still on the order of fifteen hours of inspection per division to cram into a morning somehow.
