Why were teams going into eliminations not required to get re-weighed and re-inpsected before starting elmination round competition?

[lukedude43]

They were, they just did it all throught the day because only 4 teams weren't going to elims

We were weighed in after our last qualification round.

Then, I guess we were one of the lucky few that went into eliminations and did not have to go thru it at all?

No every robot was weighed including your team's. We did not come to the pits for a full inspection though everything took place at the inspection station.

[waddell]

Yes, coming into the event we were weighed and inpsected.

I'm referring to the teams chosen to go into the elimination rounds, of which we were one and did not get re-weighed or inspected prior to the quarter finals.

I assure you that your team's robot was re-weighed and a quick re-inspection done before alliance selections. Off the top of my head I don't remember exactly when your team was done but we had completed all of them before the last qualification match was complete.

To be clear - since the event was running behind, and only 28 teams were competing 24 of which go into elims and all 4 remaining would essentially be backups - we asked the inspectors to reinspect ALL robots before the end of quals starting around match 50 or so. That way everyone was ready to go - no delays.
