It's just my opinion,

I certainly don't like watching competitions with robots that don't even move, or box bots. 6 weeks is already tough for teams to get a robot up and running for most veterans, now imagine what would happen if teams couldn't work on their bots outside of competition. It's already a struggle to get all teams to pass inspection before Friday, now imagine teams frantically trying to fabricate some part on thursday AND pass inspection. It won't be a pretty site.
