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.

Hmm.. I thought that taking the robot out of the bag is for community demonstrations and the like... Not to test anything... It even stated in the update that you should not have the driving team giving the demo... Just saying...
5.4.3 Robot Displays
New this year! To assist teams with their promotional and community relations activities, robots may be unbagged and operated briefly after “Stop Build Day” for display purposes only.
• The intent of this option is to allow teams to briefly show their robot to their community, sponsors, or potential sponsors after “Stop Build Day”. ◦ Unbagging a robot and putting it on display for many hours (i.e. more than four (4)) at a time would not be considered a ‘brief’ display
• The Robot Lock-Up Form must be used to track the unbagging and rebagging of the robot during this period. In the ‘Explanation’ column of the form, enter ‘Robot Display’
• No activity that could be considered ‘work on’ or ‘practice with’ the robot is allowed
• Brief displays of robot functions – driving, for example - are allowed, but not to the extent that they could be considered practice ◦ A good way to avoid turning a robot display period in to a practice session is to have non-drive team members operate the robot, and only for as short a time as necessary to show the robot’s capabilities
And I do agree things need to lighten up... but posting you are testing after tag and bag is... ya... just saying..
