That would be great. They are always in a rush between matches and if a close call comes up on the score it takes more time. We would have more time to set up a more organized pit area for more efficient fixin'. There would also be the possiblility of testing robots on a tether just around the arena/event site. This time could also be used for some intense strategizing as most teams plan strategy in the minute or so they have before the starting buzzer of their match. Also, this time would help rookie teams (or any team for that matter) work out the problems with their robots. And if your robot is absolutely perfect and your strategy is all worked out, you can still go around the pits to get the inside scoop on team 123's drive train or ball shooter etc.

There are just two concerns I have.

1. There would be a lot of school work to make up after being out for 3 days or more depending on travel.

2. I would not want to see teams take advantage of this time by using to add a variety of illegal parts and/or mechanisms or fabricate something new or make darastic changes or anything illegal like that.

I think this is a very worthwile idea. What does everyone else think?
