Israel Regional: Bag and Tag?

[Christopher149]

Looking through the 2012 manual, it says that USA and CANADA regionals are bag-and-tag, and that Championship is shipped. But what about the Israel Regional?

Note: not on an Israeli team, but it seems like a possible oversight?

[Gil3075]

For some teams (mostly those are located in the north and south of Israel), to bring the robot with them to Tel Aviv, where the regional takes place, will cost more money than doing it the old way.
So no, the Israel Regional is not a bag and tag event.

According to Bill Miller, the director of FRC:

All teams (with the exception of teams in Israel who are only attending the Israel Regional) will be expected to Bag and Tag their robot this year.

Section 5.5 of the Administrative Manual (now available on our website) allows teams to bag bumpers separately from the robot if it is more convenient for teams to transport their robot that way. Be aware, the bag with the bumper and the bag with the robot must both be sealed with a tag and logged independently.
If you haven’t already done so, be sure to read the Bag & Tag FAQ and decide how you plan to proceed before the deadline for exemption requests passes on December 2nd.
