For us the allowance means we can make a practice bot for the first time. That's twice the time learning how to better manage our production process, twice the time for our 75% rookie team to get more practice in the machine shop, twice the time for our %100 rookie programming team to debug, streamline, & try new methods, and any time for our rookie driver to practice. What's so bad about that?

Furthermore it gives us more time to show our sponsors and potential sponsors what we do and what we are capable of. On a larger scale it can mean more teams becoming more competitive this year, which means more exciting matches and that much better of a spectator sport.
