Lead Robot Inspector Champs Inspection List

Is the BOM hard-copy (or soft-copy open on a computer) for reference during inspection an additional requirement on the teams at Championship? If a team does not furnish a paper copy and does not have the BOM on their own computer (like their Classmate), will inspectors need to review electronic BOMs on the inspection station computer in order to pass inspection? I worry that the latter approach will create a big inspection bottleneck.

As an inspector, having the BOM in-hand during inspection is useful. I can more easily check for completeness of the BOM while the robot is under my nose (i.e. are costs for a fifth CIM included or how much did that COTS worm gearbox cost?). I think both hard-copy and electronic versions should have been required throughout the season, but that's not how <R89> was written.
