Michael, in the end, once you bag your robot, you can build as many practice robots as you want but all you can do is fine tune the one you have in the bag. By opening up the build season, you can look at competitions, see what works, and build a completely new robot from scratch. The majority of teams can't do that. By keeping the six week build season, you're limited to minor changes to your robot, which can be achieved without a practice robot. In my opinion, this helps low resource teams be competitive and allows teams to dial down their schedule after build season.
