John thanks for the great advice. We will definitely make inspections important. That's a great idea of getting everyone inspected on Friday night.

Interesting, we were told the FIRST fields that Andymark supports would not be available prior to May 16th because FIRST requires that all fields go back to HQ for inspection before going to Andymark. Our State Champs this past year was 3 weeks after champs and although Andymark had the field they did not get the Scorpion until the night before they came out for field delivery. Of course Andymark has their new field they designed and built (which is pretty nice to assemble), they still need to get the scorpion and other field electronics from FIRST.
