My team has an idea that would require a bag(s), but since VEX IQ does not have a bag type of ‘part,’ we can make due by using the plastic bags the parts are shipped in. I understand that the rules say you can only use VexIQ parts, and since they are from VexIQ; would this be deemed as breaking the rules ? We would like a verdict on whether or not this is acceptable. Thanks!

This is addressed specifically in <R6b> of the VEX IQ Challenge Highrise Game Appendix. Let’s take a look.
VEX IQ Challenge Highrise Game Appendix:
<R6> Robots may be built ONLY from Official Robot Components from the VEX IQ product line, unless otherwise specifically noted within these rules.
Thus you can’t use the bags or any other packaging that came with your VEX IQ parts.
