Re: Multiple Bags - Bag + Tag
Bagging is the same as shipping - the bag is just a cheap, flexible crate. You have to ship your bumpers with your robot (assuming you don't use your withholding allowance for them), so you must bag them. The only thing that is explicitly exempted from the 30 lbs that may remain outside of the bag (crate) is the Operator Console.

Hints for ease of transportation:
If your bumpers are segmented (an individual piece for every side of the robot), just toss them on top of the robot and bag it, problem solved.
If your bumpers are in one "continuous" piece, either a) leave them on the robot (the maximum robot length and width is 28x38 to allow it to fit through standard doorways with the bumpers on), or b) tilt them so that they don't lay parallel to the floor, but they're still supported by the robot. If you go with option a), DO NOT lift the bot by the bumpers. Lift from the bottom of the frame.
