If we did this, where would the students learn that they can do the impossible?

I agree with Ken that the 6-week build season is one of the things that defines FRC - and separates it from FVC and other competitions. I worry that an unpleasant artifact of a longer build season would be greater differentiation between the haves and have-nots. Teams with greater engineering and financial resources would use the time to improve and refine their machines and driver's skills, while the teams with limited resources might not be able to improve that much.

Since there are so many off-season events already, how about an off-season series and offChampionship for those who want to keep it going all year?
