That would be fine if FIRST would have published this schedule well in advance of everyone making travel arrangements, including the Lead Inspectors, some of whom are at the mercy of team travel schedules. Plus it was Thursday morning last year before they managed to even find us all the inspection station equipment. And don't get me started on the inspection forms.....
And with two weeks of regionals already complete, and teams having already withheld 65 lbs of robot that they shipped to ATL, expecting to have all day Thursday to put it back together, it places those teams at a disadvantage compared to the teams that can plan for this.
