I love the things I hear about the district system, and the EWCP podcast with Jim Zondag was fantastic. One question about the system. During the unbagging window (which was meant to repleace the Thursday time at a traditional regional) is there a limit to how much you can change on the robot? In other words can a team bag a minimal robot, continue to work on a practice bot, and then swap the two during the unbagging window?
At a regional you are limited to 30 lbs of custom parts, which is a number I wouldn't mind seeing reduced. At the same time I wish we would all go to a district like system. Just curious how it works on the other side of the fence.
