Is Bag and Tag Necessary?

smart/modular design doesn't hurt-

We designed about 80% of our robot into one device (the last 20% being the drivetrain). Total weight of said device: 27.8 pounds. The only thing we bagged this year was a drivetrain and a bit of a frame, we have a few more weeks to perfect everything else. No practice robot needed (although we did build half of a second frame that we mounted to a wooden drive with no motors)

This. Our shooter can come off by loosening two brackets. Although we didn't really plan for modular design, the ability to take off the shooter (weighing 12 lbs) helps considerably. If you want to practice with say, a shooter and you don't have the funds for a full second robot, being able to withhold the major part and place it on say, a kitbot can bring you pretty close to a practice bot in results.
