No Bag and Tag Inspection at Championship

[Ed Sparks]

All of the Division LRIs know....... the trick is getting word out to all of the teams. If you see a team waiting for an inspector, tell them!

What Ed said! We have a tremendous challenge ahead of us on Wednesday afternoon to get everyone inspected so play can start on Thursday morning. Please make sure your pit neighbors know they don't need to wait for an inspector.

We are going to have inspectors stationed in the isles to remind teams, and to be paying attention to the amount of parts teams are bringing in, as the spare parts allowance limit is still in effect.

See everyone in just over 48 hours!!

How about taping a sign on each crate?

I agree with Drew - teams had to qualify for Championships so they've been through the wringer already. It's not like a team is going to rewire their robot or sharp edges are going to appear all of the sudden.

At Regionals, some non-compliance (non safety related) was allowed in order to let teams compete. One rookie team had their mechanism extend outside the frame perimeter. It would have been impossible for them to fix it at the regional. What do you do? Sit them out the entire competition? Or, let them compete so they can have the experience of competing, and see how their robot performs. This was an extreme example, but a lot of little things are allowed. And, as Ed said, a lot of big things are missed.
