According to
this, Boston isn't a Bag & Tag; according to
this, Brazil isn't coming here either. Maybe you're thinking of BAE Manchester NH instead?
But I didn't come here to say that. Before I checked the above I was thinking the Brazil team could ship the robot to me, as my office (and garage space) is directly across the street from BU's Agannis Arena where it's held, and they just have to roll it across Comm Ave. But it's a moot point now.
Regarding the OP: there are going to be some silly contradictions all over with this. My team has to lug our robot to Finger Lakes and back, then ship it to Boston (roughly 20 miles).
After Kickoff when the FIRST Q&A website opens is when to ask the questions. Boston is probably not B&T (I'm guessing) because of union rules, a small loading dock area, and/or a low height underground parking. Why WPI isn't, I don't know; maybe they saw how Battlecry did it they wanted a more smooth operation. It does get rather hectic in that driveway. Plus the chance of snow messing things up too?
