The artificial stop build day is what I refer to when I say 'it's always been done this way.'
Back when we shipped robots it made sense - there were few competitions and transit time needed to be factored in. Now we bag and tag for some reason - even though it really doesn't make sense to. There's no need (except international teams) to crate up the robot and ship it anymore.
Why stifle a team's creativity and innovation by making them put their robot into a bag a few weeks before they'll actually compete?
