I did this as well, only to smell the burning smell from our maple toped workbench.

It was a couple of students and I and no mentors on Thursday in the pit. We saw the robot in the bag and thought "Why are we wasting time!?" and we opened the bag without being inspected

Lets just say we wont ever do that again. Fortunately another mentor from another team saw us and told the judges and we were okay-ed

There is nothing that compares to the smell of burning flesh, especially when it is your own.
