There is honor within and among many teams. That breaks down to meaning, there is honor among many mentors, students, and team supporters. That breaks down to meaning, there is honor among individuals and, accountability for one's actions as an individual and as a team is what establishes and maintains the honor. As Joe J. says, it is what it is. The process sounds very well thought out and implemented.

Another question - How did you get the robots in them without ripping the bags? I guess they can be 'stored' on their carts?

Just bagged ours at little before the 5pm deadline.

Overall it is a really interesting process. It also feels much better knowing that while in a bag, the bot is in your control. I had been doing the shipping for our bot the last few years and that was a huge pain. Plus the worry that maybe it will get lost or damaged.

Handling is a little interesting. There is a little extra room so that we grab ahold and move it around.

Overall I like it so far.
