A note from your Lead Robot Inspector

1. Please make sure you update your roboRIOs, FRC Driver Station software, and Rev Pneumatics Hubs are updated to the latest versions. This will save a lot of time during inspections if you do it at home/school versus in the pits.

2. Once load-in is over, you cannot bring in any more parts and you cannot work on any parts when pits close. This means if you bring in robot parts after load-in, or if you 3D print parts after pits close, your robot will be put into timeout.

3. Make sure your batteries are well-secured in your robot; if I were to pull up on the battery, your robot should come with it at least a little bit. Don't want any batteries flopping out onto the field!

4. Please make sure none of your electrical or pneumatic components are modified past what the rules allow (R710 and R803 respectively).

5. For teams where this is your first event of the year, just be sure you have a robot signal light on your robot easily visible, and that your main breaker and pneumatic dump valve are easily accessible!

If you have any questions, come to the inspection desk when pits open and I'll be there wearing a fishing vest and holding a stuffed animal!
