# 11.5 Technical Inspection

Team’s vessels are to be tested in the following before they are allowed to compete: 

* **Propulsion:** The vessel's propulsion system, including the motor(s) and propeller(s), will be tested to ensure that they are functioning correctly and providing the necessary thrust to propel the vessel. This is important for ensuring the vessel can move at the desired speed and maneuverability.
* **Visual Indicators:** The vessel's visual indicators, such as lights and flags, will be tested to ensure that they are visible and functioning correctly. This is important for ensuring the safety of the crew and other boats on the water.
* **Power Supply Arrangement:** The vessel's power supply, including batteries and charging systems, will be tested to ensure that they are functioning correctly and providing the necessary power to operate the vessel. This is important for ensuring the vessel can compete for the full duration of the event.
* **Kill switches:** An emergency stop mechanism, also known as a kill switch, will be tested to ensure that it is working properly and that the vessel can be shut down quickly in case of emergency. This is important for ensuring the safety of the crew and other boats on the water.
* **GUI:** The vessel’s GUI will be evaluated to ensure it is visually clear, intuitive, and easy to operate. The interface should be well-structured, with a layout that effectively communicates the vessel’s status and actions. It must be designed to allow an operator with no technical background to quickly grasp what the ASV is doing. 

Other components that may be tested include navigation and communication systems, safety equipment, and overall compliance with competition regulations.
