I know that I've had more than one comment from a mentor that they didn't expect to invest more than 6 weeks into the FRC build season only to find out that they invest a lot more time.

I'm going to commit to stop talking about the 6 week build season. I moved to calling it 45 days a few years ago but I think I'm done with that too. At this point if anyone says "All the teams have only six weeks to build their robots.", it's pretty much a lie. If that is helping get sponsors we shouldn't be doing it anymore since it's not the truth. Does "building a robot in 6-12 weeks" sound all that less impressive?
