What exactly do we have to include in the bags for Bag and Tag?

The robot control system must be bagged based on my knowledge. The pneumatics I believe can be withheld as they are not apart of the control system of the robot. I'm not sure if they would count as part of the 45 lb withholding allowance because they are COTS except for the tubing which obviously would be cut to length. Hope this helps!

According to the second most recent team update, you can bag any part of your robot and keep any 45 pounds of robot assemblies you choose. The object in the bag no longer has to be able to be considered a "robot," so you can keep the electronics board out and be fine so long as it and all unbagged parts weigh a cumulative total of <45 pounds.

As far as I know, you can withhold whatever you want, just so long as you don't bring more than 45 pounds of manufactured parts to competition. I know last year, the only electronics we bagged was a cRIO.

Be careful of what you do not bag - check the manual. Usually it means items used in terms of robot control... I would be weary of not bagging electronics. Note the FRC number of all teams submitting to this thread (including mine). Good luck in Bag&Tag!
