I still haven't read one legitimate point about how bag & tag enhances the FIRST experience and makes FRC more sustainable. I've never heard a team state that because of bag & tag specifically that they had a better overall season. I'd love to hear the hard evidence that shows that bag and tag makes FIRST better.

How in the world can we produce hard anecdotal evidence for something that has never been tried in FRC? This thread is about discussing ideas that
could lead to more sustainability. You don't get to tell people to go debate in some other thread because you don't think an idea won't work. I think it has legs and so do many others.
My 15 years of build season experience over 4 different FRC teams ranging from little resources to many resources tells me that every single one of those teams would have benefited from the removal of bag & tag. Bag & tag literally serves no purpose than to force teams with little to no resources to stop building while teams with mid to high resources don't skip a beat and keep right on going.
I don't get how bag & tag increases sustainability at all, please educate me.
