Re: The 6 Week Build Season and 'Mentor Burnout'
I love the withholding allowance, its saved me a bunch of times:

766:
2005: added anti-backdrive at SVR
2006: added low goal score at Davis, improved at champs
2010: added better ball magnet at Davis
2011: add minibot at SVR

3309:
2012: changed shooter at LA, better bridge tipper at Madera
2013: added 30 point climber at LA


I did not always need to full withholding allowance but a few of these years completely changed the performance of the robot. I would be pretty disappointed if it went away.
