Inspection process

[Ted Boucher]

Bascily the inspection progress begins when you bring the robot over to the inspection pit box. The robot then gets weighed and put into a transpartent box to see if it fits inside the size guidelines. Once it passes the judge comes over to your pit and goes through the inspection list that is posted on the first website. The judge then takes a person from your mechanical, electrical and puematic team to ask questions about the robot. Ex. Are you using Victor 884 speed controlers? Once you pass you are given a sticker that is placed a visable place on the robot. We got caught on things like the size of our team numbers ont the four sides of the robot. As long as you follow the rules and have electrical, mechanical, and puematic team member that know what they are talking about, then you will be fine. We did not have to stand in line at all, the insection flowed, and there was enough space for inspection.
