Most common inspection related violations

[Wayne Doenges]

As an inspector I will probably see the afore mentioned violations along with:
The wrong wire gauge used.
The wrong color wire.
Camera or cRio not isolated from frame.
Illegal motors
Over weight/under weight
Spinning wheels not properly shielded
Sharp edges to deflate balls

I'd have to say, the wheels are not explicitly required to be shielded (are they?). That said, we shielded our wheels.

Being lead que having teams get to the field is very important. And they have to pass inspection to be allowed to play. It always seem the one thing that keeps team from the field is issues with properly designed bumpers.

At Hub City last year (our 1st regional) we had no guard on our shooter wheel.

At Dallas (our second regional) they made everyone with an unshielded wheel put some type of guard around them.

Guards were not explicitly required in the rules last year either, but it very well could be as high speed wheels are a safety hazard.

In testing last year the tread came of our HT wheel we used to shoot the frisbees. The tread swung around and did a catastrophic amount of damage to our .08 aluminum shooter body (and completely snapped the MiniCIM shaft off)

I'm betting on overweight. Lots of teams will be bringing in 45lbs of stuff to add and the total weight will creep up.
