Re: The 6 Week Build Season and 'Mentor Burnout'
At what point/amount of unbag time would you stop making a practice bot?

1 Day/week?
6 hours/week (not just competition weeks, but all weeks?)
8
12?

I think there could be a neat compromise made where you could find a threshold that would essentially find a balance. Just a thought. I know of a handful of teams in Michigan that stopped building a practice bot a couple of years ago thanks to the 6 hrs, and 30 lb. allowance.

This would also balance a bit the desparity of teams that due multiple events vs. those that only do 1 later event.
