I don't.

Championship is bag-and-tag, albeit with the bag in the crate. Why? To make it a lot more difficult to cheat the schedule. (Or, alternatively, so everybody is on an even playing field with respect to time working on their robot.)

It makes sense, if you want to compete on a level(ish) playing field, to require bagging the robot until the event starts. I believe MN has done this, as have other similar types of events, though whether that's current or not I don't know.
