What happens to teams that fail a robot inspection?

When a team fails a robot inspection, they are required to fix any identified issues before being allowed to compete. This rule is in place to ensure that all robots meet the safety and design standards set by the competition. Inspections are crucial for maintaining fairness and safety in the event, so it is not permissible for teams to compete without addressing any faults found during inspection.

The requirement to rectify issues ensures that all participants are competing under the same conditions and standards, promoting a more equitable and safe competition environment. Addressing these issues is an essential part of the competition process, highlighting the importance of compliance with regulations in robotics competitions.
