One short rebuttal... the 2-day competition was proposed because for CDI, the teams have to build the robots on-site in around 6 or 7 hours. While that can be done in one day, that and competition in one day would be very hard to squeeze in.

And as a local college student, I would prefer having it on the holiday when I am home and free, than right before a break. Just my personal preference; I know some would disagree.
