Re: The 6 Week Build Season and 'Mentor Burnout'

It seems to me that some of these arguments are better formulated as, "Week zero events are critical for robot success".

Instead of extending the build time, FIRST could put an extra week between stop build day and the first regional in order for more teams to plan and execute week zero events -- and allow unbagging and work at those events...

...and directly encourage/foster/help ensure that every area has an event that teams can attend.
