Re: Teams that do not bag their robots

This kind of makes me want to go back to shipping the bot. It's much less of a hassle on a team in terms of transportation, and it prevents any 'cheating' from occurring (though i will say that the number of teams that don't follow bag day is likely very very small). Also, most likely teams that don't follow bag day likely aren't better off than before. Every team looking to compete tries their best to iterate, and so most of them build a practice bot or withhold the mechanism they wish to iterate anyway.
