We need the whole time Wednesday to get teams inspected at cmp, and even then we're rushing Thursday morning. To get the last few stragglers. Adding unbag time won't help this, it'll just give teams more time to screw up the robot to the point where it won't pass. Last year, I ended up sitting in a team's pit Thursday morning, wiring their robot before they even arrived (well after pits opened) just so they could pass inspection before their first match. Not something I wanted to do, but without it the team would have missed their first match entirely.
