There are several arguments for not holding it in the spring or summer. People are burned out after the build and FIRST competition season. A lot of teams go on hiatus in the summer. Many teams use the fall to get new members up to speed before FIRST kicks off. It also gives teams who are so inclined plenty of time to repair and/or enhance their robots.
