No Bag and Tag Inspection at Championship

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Everyone,
I am asked to eliminate inspections every year under the pretense that teams have passed somewhere else at least once. If that was only the case, I could agree. At least half of the teams will be making modifications and improvements to their original designs especially if they participated in week one, two or three. Even robots I inspected during the season, will often turn up with significant changes during inspection at Champs. While we try to train inspectors to see and correct items during regional events, some things do slip through the cracks. You are competing in the "Big Show" and just like Nascar, your competitors want us to be sure your robot meets as much of the rules as we can insure.
