Akash, what I don't understand is this: who benefits from the current model of the build marathons?
I can see rookies benefiting, but I think rookies have been doing fine since before these marathons.
And I won't shy away from saying this: AndyMark and VEX definitely stand to benefit commercially by demonstrating how to build successful robots with parts available from their stores.

Satrke, I really agree with this and I think this is mostly what has been bothering me with these builds. For me the off-season is the time to learn from other people and the build season the time to work on you own and tackle the problem as a team.
