Re: A disturbing trend?

At BMR we had 5 robots that needed inspection on Friday.
One team (I'm not going to mention the team number) did not get fully inspected till around 1000. They missed 2-3 matches becaues of this.
It wasn't bad that they were late but it hurt the alliances that had to go 2 against 3 without them. We had one of these matches and I was really bummed that the other team only had two robots playing.
My hats off to Team 1872 from Puerto Rico. They pretty much had a crate of parts when they arrived at BMR. They busted their backsides getting their robot ready on Friday. Also thanks to Team 1319 for helping them.

Re: A disturbing trend?

San Diego went really well. There were some veteran teams that needed some time to fix a couple minor inspection things, but most everyone passed just fine. All were complete on thursday with the exception of like 2 or 3 teams.

Re: A disturbing trend?

At the Buckeye regional we only had three or four teams not passing by the end of Thursday. Most of these were final weigh-ins, sizings and/or BOMs. One rookie team had two other teams frantically working with them on Friday morning to get them inspected and to their first qualification match. We got them inspected just before their first match, but they were so late that their robot was not allowed on the field.

Compared to the Wisconsin regional, which had many more rookies, things went fairly well on the inspection front. I did notice when we were packing up our robot that we gave out three of our spare flag holders sometime during the regional.

As Sanddrag said, the inspections went quite smoothly in San Diego (compared to LA). I brought 4 flag holders that I made with "Robot inspectors are your friends" labels attached. Three out of the four ended up on robots in the SD Regional.
