I dont believe that it would be very fun if they did this. Its just not the same thing that I participate in FIRST for.
Also Teams would be designing a robot during the off season so that they are prepared to just start building when the 6 weeks start. or start building before the 6 weeks even start !

I'm not really even sure how you'd delineate between seasons, since the current structure is kickoff->build->ship->regionals->championships(->offseasons).
They would most definitely have to find some way to change the current rules about build season. Would teams be expected to build (or rebuild) a robot every year? Or could they reuse the same one? Since FIRST always seems so intent on taking competitive advantage away from veteran teams, how would they even the playing field for rookie teams?
One last point: I know that my life would be a lot less exciting if I didn't have the frenzy of kickoff and build season to look forward to each winter.
