If you are able to wait a week to get something and still get adequate practice in then that's fine. If you could get them in a week sooner, under the same conditions, you gain a week of practice or whatever you want to do. You could stop working a week sooner and have more down time before the next competition. Thus eliminating stop build day gives you that sort of option, which you don't have to use.

We would use the time to make a drive base with some weight thrown on to act as a defense bot to practice against. Way way cheaper and easier option than making a copy of our main that still serves a huge purpose.

I guess if you wanted to be a defense team you could build a fully functional scoring bot to practice against.

EDIT: If things are better in moderation than why binge on FRC for six weeks? Why not spread out your time?
