Taking the Bag out of Bag Day

I'd be measuring it to make an accurate practice robot that could be driven and tested and broken and repaired and generally abused without risking breakage of the competition robot. I'd use the measurements to fabricate new or improved mechanisms to be part of the withholding allowance.

I'd be powering it up only to use it as a programming testbed while the drivers got full access to the practice robot.

I'd be treating it as a fragile treasure until we had permission to do work on it (either during practice day or an access period prior to competition).




More likely, I'd actually be ignoring it and catching up on sleep and chores and family time.
