Obviously teams don't use their time as well as they chould. I think this is true for 99% of teams from rookie to elite teams.

But, more importantly, if I tell 10 rookie students to build a robot but don't give them any tools, parts outside the kit and anyone with any FIRST or engineering experience, it likely won't matter if they have 6 weeks or 12 weeks, they will struggle at building a robot that can sucessfully score.
