We would build 1 and only 1 robot in a heartbeat if they eliminated bag & tag. The only reason we do it today is to be competitive and give our drivers and operators additional practice time.
Eliminating bag & tag would save us a lot of money & time - no more buying 2 to 3 of everything. It would also reduce the overall number of parts we make during build season. The time we spend trying to get our competition robot to match the performance of our practice robot wouldn't be needed either. We could also spread our schedule a little bit and not have to meet every single day, reducing mentor and student burnout.
There are SO many benefits to eliminating bag & tag. It's just a remnant of the old ship date when we used to have to crate up the robot and I think it needs to go.
