If they really want to consider the possibility of a change, the survey will look very different.

Ed,

I agree. This intro is pretty slanted:

FIRST Robotics Competition has a 6 week build period that encourages Team Members to be creative, work hard, take risks, experience failure and success, and develop skills while maintaining Gracious Professionalism. It is hard fun. By having the 6 week build deadline, there is opportunity for student and team growth, but also challenges for students and the Team. The next set of questions ask for your feedback on some aspects of the build season that may be advantages or disadvantages for students, the Team, and Mentors.
