Time.
Teams have to uncrate the robot. Get cleared to unbag. Then they can start getting their robot ready for inspection.
Robot inspectors will have to run around clearing robots to unbag.
All that takes time. Load-in is 1:00-4:00, and Pits open at 4:00 pm, and the first practice match is at 6:00 pm.
If they waive bag & tag, teams can start getting their robots ready for inspection right away, and the RI's can focus on inspecting robots. I'm guessing it would save about 1 hour if B&T is waived.
At regionals, load-in is on Wednesday, and pits open Thursday morning. RI's can clear teams to unbag Wednesday evening, and teams can start working on Thursday morning when pits open.
