I interpret this as what is says - no more building or programming. I don't believe the intent extends to battery chargers for the batteries to run the practice robot (if you build one).

It also doesn't say - no practicing, no planning, no strategizing, no thinking, no trying to improve your driving skills, no playing simulated games, etc.

And - if you want to stop doing everything or some things, that is up to each team to decide. What isn't up for interpretation is Making things and Programming.

As to the "rest and recover from the build season" - depends on how your team defines it. Some may define it as "stop everything" - some may define it as, "okay now we need to work on the Hall of Fame presentation and video, or making buttons, or finishing up the planning for the off season event". Some teams are active year round and just because the 6 weeks are over doesn't mean the program just stops.

I believe the intent is aimed at Building and Programming the competition robot.
