Some teams are legally able to remove their robots from their bags after stop build day... We had ours out of the bag last night for 45 minutes to test autonomous.

Also just because they posted this question now does not mean they have had their robot out of the bag after stop build day.
It's things like this that make me miss the 1980's... Remember when not everyone had the Internet and people couldn't make snap judgments about you or your comments without ever seeing you?

I never said they were breaking the rules, I simply stated a fact. Do most teams not have their robot in a bag? How is it that they are being called out? If you are going to be so defensive, why not think they had a practice robot? That's where my head was...

On a serious note, everything Jon said is spot on. The question was answered so I thought I'd have some fun with it. I swear I'll never joke online again. CD is quickly becoming a place for information for me rather than participation.

There is a chance that they may not have known or that they may be making a mistake in unbagging or not bagging at all. Did you ever think that maybe some people make mistakes? I have seen several teams over the years that have worked on robots through the bag or with a carefully placed hole. If that's how those teams want to play the game, so be it. I don't want to make this a discussion about bagging, because I honestly am checking out of this one right now...Although I am curious on why you are allowed to test your robot after stop build.
