Having the robot out-of-bag would mean that the 7 day grind would keep going, because 'large scale' improvements like adding a climber would still be on the table.
Both of these are already choices you and your team are making. If you have the money and time to build a practice robot, 30 lbs and unbagging time are all you need to keep on grinding. Eliminating stop build day would not rob you of the ability to make the same choices. Instead, it gives other teams (without the resources to make practice robot) the ability to do what you currently do.
