Inspections at Championship

[Rosiebotboss]

If I can add my .02.........

Last year I was an inspector in Curie and wrote a white paper (at Paul Kloberg's request) on the good, the bad and the ugly of the inspection process with Dr. Dave Mitchell from NJ. (It went up to Bill Miller and company for implementation of some of the ideas.)

One of the biggest complaints I heard from teams was "But we passsed at XYZ Regional." As Al pointed out, it does not matter if you passed inspection at your local regional, at Championships the rules will not be overlooked, at least by this inspector. It is not fair to the other teams to pass a team that is not fully compliant. I will and I know of a bunch of inspectors that will help. But, be ready and be early.

One other thing, I know the manual lets you have your parts list either on paper, on a laptop or on a disk/flash drive. Please, please, please print it on paper. It is so much easier to look over your robot for compliance with a paper parts list in hand.

Be early.......please.
