This needs to be in writing.

I got this email from FIM on Friday:

Greetings Michigan Teams:

We understand there are questions regarding upcoming robot ship day and the specific time teams must stop working on their robots.

This time is 5:00 pm EST. Teams must stop all robot-specific build activities and move toward bagging their robot ONLY. Teams are permitted to work on items specified by Rules R26 / R36...

We thank you all in advance for you gracious professionalism and your help in getting the district events off to a great start.

IMPORTANT: Please remember robots are not to be shipped to the event sites! Teams are responsible for transporting their robots themselves, in a safe manner, to the events.

Best of luck to all teams!
