my friend's robot has a myco bag that is 99.9% colonized. he plans to put this in a hyda-pod once it is done. should he dunk and/or cold shock it first?

yeah, dont dunk it, you may introduce contams.
if its a cubbie, no cold shock is required - however it helps a lot of times. put it in a bag and seal it well - your fridge is the paradise of antagonistic microorganisms!!! you dont want your mycelium contaminated before even you see any shrooms!!!

The idea of dunking is to make it last a little longer after you see the last mushrooms. When you pull a half oz of mushrooms from your cakes, it really takes the moisture out. However, I have never tried this.
Best of luck,

I have, I've dunked it and cold shocked my cake, and then I pulled the cake out of the bag and put it in a terrarium. You can see pictures here. Myco bag grow log What my 1st flush harvest looks like.
