I have mixed feelings about this. It would certainly improve the competitiveness of many robots.

You can argue that we wouldn't have to put in so many all-nighters if we had more time.
Or, you can argue that we may just expand the work to fill the time. The powerhouse teams will get even more time to become even better. The temptation to spend more time and money to make a killer robot will be there.

I kind of like the 6 week blitz followed by some extended recovery time. This is especially important with my family life. I like having some time now to go watch my son play baseball or to take my wife out to dinner, etc. Many of us feel pressure from our spouses because we already spend too much time on this. I'm sure each team has members who are on the verge of quiting because this takes up too much of their spare time. However, you can argue that each team can choose to spend the amount of time they want. I just don't have a good feeling about this.

Raul
