TL;DR High-resource teams in general favor the status quo which is understandable.

I guess I was thinking of it more like teams who build practice robots presumably have the time/resources to work through bag and tag (compared to some single-robot teams who may not be able to continue working even without bag day, or who will struggle to do so), and removing the bag could only help. But yeah, that makes sense too.

It is interesting to note that CD is over-representative of people on teams that build practice robots as well as those who prefer to end bag and tag.

Only if my side wins.

If you were to estimate the results by the tone of the discussion in here, I'd put it at 90% want to eliminate Stop Build Day. My takeaway from the survey results is that those on Chief Delphi are a very vocal minority.

Very true, but also consider that any petition for change will be heavily biased towards the status quo. People are always afraid of change until it happens. I would say the fact that this survey shows nearly half of respondents voting 1 or 2 is a significant result.

Also, you know, data trumps opinion, and I think there data is pretty clear that bag day is harmful.
