Lead Robot Inspector Champs Inspection List

I want to remind everyone that Inspections will begin during the Wednesday open pit from 6-9 PM. We will have about thirty inspectors available to open Bag and Tag teams and start inspections. Sixty will be available on Thursday morning.
With the vastly reduced inspection time of this year's event, we can only inspect all robots with your help. So we are asking this...
1. Please come and get your your robot inspected as it comes out of the crate or soon after. If you plan to make changes, please do so after your first inspection. It will be easier for us to reinspect your changes.
2. Make sure you have your BOM printed out or on a computer that the inspector can reference during the inspection process.
3. Do not wait until 12:30 PM Thursday to come and get inspected. We will do everything we can to get you ready for your first match. We are not miracle workers.
4. Teams that are not inspected because they are not ready, are subject to Team Update 16. "9.3.6 Seeding Point Exceptions
A TEAM that does not field a ROBOT because it has not passed inspection will receive zero seeding points and zero coopertition bonus."
5. Teams must be reinspected any/every time they make changes to their robot, anytime during the weekend.
6. Random reinspections will take place on Thursday and Friday so that we can be sure every robot is compliant for Saturday. We want to be sure nothing is missed that would affect your ability to play on Saturday afternoon.
7. Remember that you have the right to question a Robot Inspector decision. Please check with the Lead Robot Inspector on your division.
8. Things that have troubled teams this season are: Bumpers (height and construction), bumper covers that fall outside the bumper zone or are not tight, bumpers that are held on with velcro, tywraps or other non-suitable fastening system. Batteries must be held firmly in the robot at all time, buy a woven belt (camping stores) and secure it to robot frame. Frame Perimeter will be checked, use 1/4" plywood if you need to, but nothing outside of the bumper zone may project beyond the frame perimeter unless it is a moving robot part that is subject to the two second rule. Make sure you have only the maximum number and type of motors allowed in the robot rules. No Globe motors and no van door motors are allowed this year.

I ask other Lead Robot Inspectors to add to this list.
