I don't recall anyone in the Orlando thread mentioning that it was the LRI who let Bacon (or was in on any discussions to) put the spare batteries on the robot. All the threads pointed to a RI saying it was OK and presiding over the reinspection. Having volunteered as a RI and FTAA these past two years, I would probably have asked the LRI first on a ruling of legality, and then asked for the LRI to inform the field personnel of the ruling, so there wouldn't be any miscommunication issues. However, there may be sides of the story I haven't read, so I won't pass judgement on the Orlando situation.

+1 for Frank. Nice to see that HQ takes issues like the SVR one seriously, and fixes them quickly.
