Al's 2016 Inspection Thread

[rsisk]

Two things would have helped the majority of teams at San Diego this year...


1. Read AND UNDERSTAND the bumper rules
2. Update your driverstation software

This is the advice I sent to all the SD teams as their LRI...

DRIVER STATION UPDATE
Team update 12 included an update to the Driver station software. Your driver station MUST be updated before you can compete in San Diego. Please update your software before you come to the competition.

COST ACCOUNTING WORKSHEET
Every team must show a completed Cost Accounting Worksheet (we used to call them your Bill of Materials) in order to pass inspection. You can find a suggested format attached. Please have this filled out before you come to the competition

INSPECTION WORKSHEET
Want to get through inspection quickly? Have a look at the attached inspection checklist for the rules you must comply with before you will be allowed to compete.

BUMPERS
Make sure your bumpers are compliant with Section 4.7 Bumper Rules in the Game Manual. If you think there might be a problem, be sure to bring the appropriate material and parts to correct your bumpers at the competition. You must have legal bumpers (both red and blue) before you can compete.
