This suggestion would be even better if you had someone who knew last year's rules thoroughly read this year's rules and look for differences.

Have everybody go over the robot looking for violations way before ship date. The best policy is have the students go over the robot with the inspector to be sure that they know the rules and that they will be expected to know the rules. Nothing like pop quizes to help them learn. Going through the inspection check off list with a fine toothed comb does not hurt (assuming it is released sooner than it was this year).
That's another great idea - do an inspection within your own team. Or maybe get an "inspector" from a nearby team to go over the list with your students, while your "inspector" does the same with the other team.
