Mike I couldn't disagree with you more.

I believe that strict enforcement of the 6 week build cycle is the way to go.

No withholding allowence, no assemblies (other than COTS) brought to the competition, etc will serve to make all this go away. The 6 week build season is an integral part of FIRST (or has been since its inception) and I believe should continue to be.

While practice bots are an unfair advantage (compared to those who don't build them), they are an advantage born of hard work and dedication ... and should be, not only, allowed but praised.
