I am surprised that nobody has suggested a 4 week, or shorter, build season. It would increase the gap between good and bad teams and have little or no effect on the quality of robots In the elimination rounds at championships. It's a win win for everybody. The average team gets less burnt out, while elite teams get easier wins at district and regional events, and more time to test, compare, and improve designs after reveals before 2champs. Also 4 is a pretty number.

Whether build season is made longer, shorter, or eliminated all together nothing will change. Bad teams will still be bad and good teams will still be good.
