Yes it doesn't happen now because we have ship date and teams can only hold back 40lbs of weight, but I was replying to FIRST moving to a no ship date and every team keeps their robot in between competitions.

VRC teams do exactly this. It's not something low, it's copying in a way... how many teams are currently trying to tried to copy 469 after they saw them at Cass Tech?
I like the idea of ship date, leave that no ship date to FLL, FTC and VRC
