Eliminating Bag Day levels the playing field a bit more. Teams that have the resources to build a practice robot won't have a leg up on the teams without those resources through extra driver practice, software integration, and a platform to test new features.

I doubt there are teams out there that say "well, we can't build a second robot, so let's just give up on FRC"

And yes, that's definitely very noble of you, but how many other teams are thinking like that?
