So... we are going to have an 8 weeks build period~!?!

"The robots these teams create in six weeks are equivalent to the projects that might have come out of millions of dollars of research money ten years ago," said Flowers, Pappalardo Professor of Mechanical Engineering, MIT. "It's remarkable what they're able to do."
I have to agree with Nataku, that this is probably just a typo. It would be cool though if it were true.

I have always wanted FIRST to have 7 weeks build period, instead of 6 weeks, because during week 3 or 4 schools usually have mid-terms, and is very difficult to get a lot of work done.
