I don't want to speak for the 'greats' but MANY of these teams are not accomplishing their amazing designs in 6.5 weeks. What Cory was describing earlier is that these very elite teams are already near the peak of robot performance. These teams are working for 4 months, using withholding allowance and practice bots to reach an unbelievable level of play.
Opening the build season will not dramatically change the level of play these teams are already achieving...
