But how do I do this and run my team. My students expect that we compete. I would love to help with inspections, I have helped several rookie and veteran teams both before ship and at Regionals, but time is short on Thursdays.

Exactly, at my team's regional on Thursday, we had two mentors. One of the mentors would not have had enough technical experience to be able to help inspect. So, I was the only one regularly in the pits. It would seem rather difficult for a team to lose 100% of their technical mentors for the day.
