If we effectively extend the build season, more and more teams will have difficluty with these legal/administrative issues.

If we don't want to limit the build time, I ask again, why have a ship date?

We work at the school we have never had problems with anything you have mentioned. We usually meet from 2:00 to 4:30-5:00. We always have an adult present. I believe that we haven’t had any problems because the robotics students are usually the most behaved in the school.

Why have a ship date? Because Fed-Ex is a sponsor and we need to ship something.
In all seriousness I think the ship date works because it gives the students(especially the new ones) a deadline. It also gives every team the same target and a time for the main build to complete.
