Because of the timing, I'm wondering if we'll be allowed to bag the robot at SVR and bring it back to school, especially if there's one of those 8-hour windows for unbagging it before Sacramento.

And do I understand correctly that the robot goes into a bag and then into its crate? We're in the process of designing and building a new crate that will be part of our pit structure, and this sounds like something we should consider.

Wasn't there a Bill's Blog post talking about changes to crates or something? Sorry if that's totally wrong but I seem to recall something.
