While not having a bag and tag and being able to still work on the robot during this time, i personally wouldn't have as much fun.

While I know that a team like 118 that has 2+ bots, will most likely always beat us, I don't think we should move or remove build date.

I agree the challenge is cool. In 2013, 2014, and 2015 our team did not finish a robot by stop build. So, I set our "Stop Build Day" to the end of week 4. A lot of members believed me the entire year no one actually calculating the amount of weeks. It was also fun telling people we still have 2 and a half weeks once they thought they hit stop build day.
