Inspection Checklist posted!

[Phreadumb]

Hey, I was just checking out the inspection sheet, and I noticed in the electrical catagory it said "Motors - 5 CIM, 2 Denso Left, 2 Denso Right, 2 Fisher Price, and 2 Mabuchi. <R52. A,D,E>" So I was wondering if I needed to uses 2 left and 2 right left denso motors, and not somthing like 4 left as intended? I looked at A, D, and E and what I'm doing seems to be in compliance.

Did you receive four left-side Denso window motors in your Kit of Parts? You should have received 2 lefts and 2 rights and are limited to using 2 of each per rules <R52> and <R53>.

What do you mean by using "4 left as intended"?

Hello,

Does this mean that all the updates have been included in the robot rules?

Neurotrek,
Your question is too vague. Teams have a number of resources that need to be periodically checked in order to stay up-to-date. It can be daunting but at least one person from every team should keep up with the following docs and forums - Section 8, Team Updates, FIRST's Q&A forum, Bill's Blog and the inspection checklist.

Section 8 is THE guiding document when it comes to robot inspection. There are, however, some rules interpretations and clarifications that are not rolled into Section 8 and are instead posted as responses in the Q&A forum or as reminders in Team Updates. I try to keep the inspection checklist and inspector training manual synchronized with the various sources of information.

Every time a Team Update comes out, the sections that are altered in the Update are issued as Section X Rev Y. Q&A answers are not automatically included--typically, the entire Q&A is published at some point between the end of build season and the Week 1 events. You'll want to grab that when it does come out.

If you have something like Section 8 Rev B, you really need to update which revision you have.

Russ,

Perhaps I was a bit vague. Anyways, your reply pretty much answered my question. I checked through all the rules, updates and what-not to clarify.

Thanks.
