I am sort of on the fence about bag and tag. I like the hard stop. It is more of a transition for us since we continue to work with the practice robot. We focus more on driver development and robot refinement after stop build. On the other hand stop build has a lot of baggage that already been discussed on this thread. It is probably time to change it.

One of the thus far unstated advantages that will benefit the high resource teams is they will be showing up to each event with an essentially completely rebuilt robot rather than having to do maintenance at the event. Granted other teams will have the same opportunity.

For no bag day to really benefit mid level teams, they are going to need the discipline to finish the robot around the six week mark to give them time to iterate and practice. I leave the top tier teams out of this because they already have the discipline.

Teams have to decide how much resources to put to the robot competition. Not having bag day really doesn't change this.
