Re: Bag & Tag: What were the best practices?

As a Michigan team, we've been dealing with bagging for 2 years, and the truth is, it's easier to bag it than to put it in the crate. Just remember:
A) place bag on floor, robot on top of bag. Have at least 2 people lift the bag walls.
B) remove bumpers. These make bagging more difficult. If your robot has an enclosed inner space, such as many Lunacy robots, the bumpers may fit inside.
C) Try to avoid cuts and snags on the bag as it is lifted.
D) When transporting, lift by the robot, not by the bag.
