Re: Inspection Stories

I've had my fair share... But one of the best was the rookie team with a Victor 883 on their robot a couple years back. I told 'em it wasn't legal, but they should be asking around certain places for a Victor 884 which was legal. Came back an hour later and there was an 884 in that location.


And... bumpers should be a 4-letter word. There was a time not long ago when I was coming off of dinner break on practice day and another inspector asked for help on where numbers should go on a 6-sided robot (open front side). To which I responded with something like "The numbers are the least of your concerns, that's not a legal configuration!" (Something like below.) Confused team when we checked on it: "But an inspector told us this was how to fix our illegal bumpers and still use our intake!" Cue LRI call, and discussion on how to fix it (raise and take the angles off).

This is going to be an interesting inspection year coming up...
