If I'm wrong, and the team would be able to come home, build a crate, and then ship the machine at a later date, you're right and the program wouldn't be all that valuable.

If ANY team, at a bag-and-tag event (and they're all B&T), has to ship from the regional location, then something is wrong.

The team will be able to go home, build a crate (or borrow one), put the bagged robot in the crate, and ship.

You will have already competed at another event, so you must ensure your robot is bagged and tagged at the conclusion of that event per the instructions in section 5.6. Bring your robot back to your build site or other location away from the event venue, crate the robot and prepare for shipment.

If you are shipping to Championship from an earlier event to which you have been given an Exemption, your robot will be sent from that earlier event to that event’s drayage location. You may be able to ship from there directly to Championship.
