Keeping an Eye on the Robots

I've been going through the world of FIRST robotics trying out every job.  Judge, Field Reset, Referee, at the lower levels I've done a bit of MC work.  At this event I'm a Robot Inspector.  You have to ensure that the teams comply with all sorts of rules.  I try to be supportive, yet steely eyed...


Mostly fun, I've not had to admonish anyone to any degree.  But after hours of digging around inside robots....


Not sure how my team will do.  There was an unfortunate storm system that came through and closed school for the day.  As a result the team was not allowed to travel even though by noon it was quite decent outside.  This puts us at a competitive disadvantage.   No practice rounds for us on Thursday night, no field calibration either.  We'll see how things go.....
