I agree with Jim, and the others that believe there should be no bag day.
I am not saying this so the top teams get better, Jim already showed they can outperform the vast majority of teams.
I am saying this so the vast majority of teams can get their robot functioning the way they intended them to. So they can enjoy playing the game and fully contribute at the events. It breaks my heart to see great robots, creative robots sit idle in matches because the kids were not afforded the time to finish them. Scrap that, not finish, get them working to actually play the game the way they envisioned. Yes there would be teams would take on more and still fall short in the end, but that would be their choice.

Teams would spend less time on building a duplicate practice robot, this would allow them to fine tune the robot that will actually be competing. THis would help elevate all the robots at the competitions and make the events more exciting. Of course teams could still choose to have two robots for additional drivers practice and development.

With no bag day, there would be no set reveal day, which would mean no beginning of copy cat day. Everyone could focus on what their robot was intended to do, not on what someone elses robot can do one time for a release video.
