Re: What would you do if build were longer?
If it were longer, I'd be redesigning, raiding ideas, etc...
However, there is a reason it's only 6 weeks. Woodie was once asked "Why do we only get 6 weeks?" at Kickoff. (This when they had a Q&A session instead of the game show...) His response? "We wanted to make it easier for the rookies." Or something to that effect. The reasoning given was: Rookie team gets the game and kit. They build a robot in 3 weeks. They see another robot that looks better, redesign, and spend the next 3 weeks rebuilding. Repeat the cycle until you run out of time. You cut it at 6 weeks, they aren't stuck in the cycle more than once.
