Re: Inspection oversight DQ's team in the quarters

The robots in question were called on this to my knowledge...

<G10> ROBOT Size – Prior to the MATCH, each ROBOT shall not exceed the NORMAL CONFIGURATION maximum weight or volume specified in Rule <R10>. The Head Referee may call for an inspector's recertification of the ROBOT size and weight prior to the start of any MATCH. Violation (for ROBOTS prior to the match): Prohibition from participating in the MATCH.

The robot in question was not able to remove the cover easily to correct the problem. The team removed the cover and cut the lexan to insure that cover movement did not take them outside the frame perimeter for the remaining matches.
