[Tom Bottiglieri]

A box on wheel with amazing drivers will always beat an overly complex and hard to control robot with inexperienced drivers.

Therefore, I think eliminating the ship date would be benneficial. It would turn the build into a more casual time period, cutting out about 2-3 weeks worth of stress. I also like playing by the honor code, with something to the extent of a "tools down day" This would require the teams to have the same build deadline, as well as give many teams who fill the entire 6 weeks with building some time to program and practice.

Can you say working autonmous modes?!
