Re: Bag and Tag at Worlds

Waiving bag inspection at the CMP makes perfect sense, if it's done after all robot crates have arrived. Letting everyone think it will be required ensures that all robots remain bagged AS IF it were going to be a requirement. Removing the requirement after the crates have been shipped removes the resource cost of actually performing inspections.

Now that this has happened two years in a row, next year it would be wise to actually perform the inspections, just to keep everyone on their toes. Otherwise, bagging for championships is going to go the way of the seat saving rule: official rule popularly ignored.
