I think this would be a pretty big issue. If your "6 week build period" is after the official FRC season is over, your team will have already have seen which designs work well, and which ones don't. That kind of takes out the fun of brainstorming from scratch, and coming up an idea for something for which there isn't any good documented answers yet. And when you go to sign up for an off season event, what will they say when you tell them you designed your robot after watching all of this year's regionals? Seems like it would give you an unfair advantage at these events.
