Be careful about speaking in absolutes, especially when you're incorrect. As Joe Ross pointed out that there is a precedent for extending the build season (2003 and 2004).
However, that was before the withholding allowance existed, and when teams had to actually crate and ship their robot away. Now it seems more plausible for other mechanisms to be used, if needed, to offset for time lost due to weather.
