Now in your opinion would you approve the 2 previous design/sketches posted in this thread for inspection?

Brandon, et al,

The inspectors will inspect for safety and adherence to the rules. Al's very sound advise goes further in getting you to consider more failure modes.

Just realize that, with the exception of safety concerns and rule violations, the inspectors will approve designs and implementations that, in our opinion, are likely to fail.

We may make suggestions on forums or at events based on our experience that are optional for the teams.

We really want all the teams to succeed and the students to have a memorable experience.

Whether those memories are good or bad will depend on many factors...

Regards,

Mike
