Is it going to make the robots better for the teams that can't afford a practice robot and currently don't get to drive at all before showing up at their first event? I don't see how you could possibly argue it wouldn't.
But that's not what this thread is about (it's about the poll a middle school student could have written better), so I'll limit myself to this one response.

Respectfully, there are very few teams in the same league as 254!
I would be curious to know how far down the FRC totem pole your sentiments run true. If you represent the top 1% who make a habit of winning multiple regionals each year, does your statement about 254's lack of value from eliminating stop build hold true for the top 5%? 10%? 20%?
If we graphed (the value-added to robot performance by eliminating stop-build) vs. (some measure of competitive performance), I would assume that some parts would show a mildly rising slope while further on it may level off. Perhaps my feelings about this proposal are indicative of where my team is on that curve.
I appreciate the reply and information. Perhaps the dialogue on CD can be even more informative for FIRST than the poorly worded survey.
