The main valid argument I've seen for the "stop build day" is that it would discourage teams from going to Week 1 regionals. However, I argue that teams would go anyway due to locality and the fact that everybody has only had the 6 weeks anyway- it would change very little. However for teams that don't have the funds to build two robots and/or go to only one local regional, the benefits would be immense. Personally I would vastly prefer the extra time to drive, test, and improve things, as we usually go to week 3 and 5 regionals.
