“Visible for inspection” does not require that the items be visible when the ROBOT is in STARTING CONFIGURATION or normally during a MATCH, provided the team can make the items viewable during the inspection process if necessary.

Teams are strongly encouraged to make the diagnostic lights visible during normal MATCH play ROBOT configurations. If diagnostic LEDs are not visible during a MATCH, FIELD STAFF may not be able to provide comprehensive support to the team.

Teams are encouraged to mount the ROBOT CONTROLLER device away from noise generating devices such as motors and EMF shielding materials like sheets of metal.
