[BB]: Bag-and-Tag procedure

[mwibbels]

We are planning for the traditional/bag and tag regional transition which seems to raise questions about the process for securing a bag and tagged robot into a crate for shipment. We typically screw through the robot frame and into the crate bottom, to secure the robot inside the crate.

Seems like we will either need to make an adapter plate that can be released from the crate while it still attached to the robot and bag, open the bag to detach the robot from the crate, or use a fastner that can be released from outside the bag.

All seem feasible, but it would be nice to have an idea of the new crate constraints, that were hinted at in Bill's blog, to enable a bit of planning. Ah well, last year Lunacy was supposed to level the playing field , this year the shipping changes appear to be leveling the pit and crate field - as we likely will be building both the crate and the robot in 6 weeks - like we did in our 1st season.

Promises to be fun,
