Re: 2011 FRC Season dates

Add me to the following lists:

- 6 week build cycle: I'm pretty burned out by Tuesday 2AM when the box is sealed shut. Another week and I think I'd be falling over. I'm not sure that the 7th week would be a bonus, I'm thinking it would be just another seven 20 hour days of panic at the end.

- people that love FLR: We went last year and had a blast, our roboteers want to go back for Ruckus in the fall.

- people that go "ugh" over FLR being Week 1. We had a good time, but wow were we burned out at the end. Maybe if it's week 2.

My HERO! I'd love to play against the ThunderChickens, but not at the expense of the soul crushing that is Week One. How about coming to Philly and I'll treat to famous Philly Cheese-steaks to make up for the longer drive?

Hey FIRST, how about a 6 week build, a two week gap and 6 weeks of events?
