Interesting thought. Many (most?) teams compete at multiple regionals and districts (particularly the latter). So extending the build season won't really give late competing teams an advantage--the teams competing earlier will get an opportunity to learn from their experience.
Look at the average scores and OPRs this season. Some teams had remarkable turnarounds in the season. 195 and 1671 are excellent examples of teams that went to the elite level by working after their first regional. Shouldn't we encourage students to learn from their experiences and then apply those lessons?
