While I greatly understand and appreciate the concept of the Fix It Window. It's biggest problem is that it doesn't take into account travel time. We travelled to a regional that was a 12 hour bus ride.
By the time the event is over, you crash at the hotel 1 last night. Leave early the next morning, once you get home, you have like 8 hours left in the fix it window. And that's if you walk right off the bus into the machine shop.

I think it's a great idea, but just needs to be refined a little bit more. Like maybe close all building for the weekend at the end of the compeition. Fix it window starts at a fixed time on monday and counts down from there.

This would give teams a chance to get home, and unwind from the thrills and pressures of competition and maybe get a night off before cranking for another couple of days.
