I'm reading this as "if you failed to reach eliminations at all last year here is some benefit to help you".

As a concept, I like the idea. However, I'd like to see some evidence to back it's usefulness. Is there any evidence that extra time with the robot would be effective for these teams? Many of the perpetually underperforming teams I've observed have larger systemic issues that will not be addressed with a 6 month build season let alone an extra 6 days of hands on time with the robot.
