In our 3 years, we've crated once (rookie year) and bagged twice. Each time, Bag Day has been after the President's Day weekend. I would prefer a full 7 week build to utilize the holiday weekend, but if the robot sits bagged or crated for a couple of days, I'm fine with that. At least I can get some sleep.
