I don't think anybody has pointed this out yet, but if Stop Build Day is eliminated then there is really no reason for a team to reveal their robot at all. If any team can change anything they want at any time, then no team would want to show what their design was because with several weeks another could completely steal their idea make an identical robot.

I know there are a lot of advantages to getting rid of Stop Build Day in terms of evening the playing field for teams that cant afford to make a second robot, but I think sharing the ideas that teams had and giving a quick showcase of what they built (like in a reveal video) does a whole lot more for making better competition than having more time to work on your robot and sacrificing the sharing of robots.

Also +1 to poorly written survey
