Mentor burnout is real, and a big w/h allowance exacerbates it.

Honestly, we'd still do the work. All the same iteration, just leave the home version on the practice bot and add "fabricate at event" as an additional design requirement. It'd probably be even harder and more stressful than now, but I doubt we'd be able to live with not trying as hard to improve.
