NEW THIS YEAR:
Teams should arrive to the tournament with the official GRSC V5RC Override Inspection Checklist completed with the exception of the inspectors final passage and signature. At inspection certain physical characteristics of the robot will be verified before the robot is determined "passed". This is very similar to how inspections are performed at the World Championships.
