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

Banning practice robots isn't a consistent part of my argument, certainly. If there was no withholding allowance, a practice robot would allow you to do just that -- but there'd be no need to meet at the grueling build season schedule... You could scale back a LOT and still be competitive.

So I think people are, in essence, correct: it's already a four month schedule, and addressing burnout would include eliminating the withholding allowance. Otherwise, when we got knocked out at Buckeye this year, I wouldn't have simultaneously thought, "Awwww" and "Thank God".
