If we remove the build season limitation across the board we will see a dramatic increase of the quality of the product that we put on the field in front of the public.

I agree wholeheartedly with this, and think it's the most compelling and important argument against the 6-week build season. Yes, the top teams (and a growing number of middle tier teams) build two robots... expending more resources, etc.... but they'll always expend a lot of effort and will probably compete marginally better without the "6-week" system. The difference is that the teams that don't have the resources to make a second robot can suddenly have a far more developed product at their first event if they still put in at least as much effort.
