Re: paper: Stop the Stop Build
I don't see the need for half-measures here. Don't give everyone an unbagging time slot, just get rid of the bag entirely. The current policy is regressive and unfair, and lessened version of it is still going to be regressive and unfair, only somewhat less-so.

This might just be me, but I can't envision this doing anything but further exacerbating the gap between high- and low-resource teams and breeding a lot of ill-will. For instance, I don't think many people would take kindly to seeing an elims bracket at district championships consisting of multiple robots from only a handful of "elite" teams. That might be a more accurate reflection of the distribution of resources in FRC (both monetary and human), but I doubt it's what's best for the program.
