Re: Crazy Robot Inspection Stories
I don't really have any crazy inspection stories but, In 2008 we got our first regional and were informed that all of our drive motors had been wired incorrectly... So, it took us about 2 hours to rewire everything before we could compete.
My favorite inspection moment ever was at the Championship in 2008. We put our robot on the scale and weighed 120.1 lbs. Before the inspector had a chance to say anything I ripped (zip tied on) a 12" x 8" piece of decorative lexan off of the back of the robot... We weighed 120 lbs even. (She then proceeded to tell me that the scales were slightly off and anything within a tenth of a pound was acceptable..)
