Does it really matter?

I will be so bold as to suggest that the 6 week build, stop, wait, build at competition, stop, wait and so forth is not really important.

What would happen if ..........

Kick-off we get parts and start the competition.
We keep our robot, and all the parts and take it to events as we are registered for. All this time ALL teams can be working on their robot, improving, learning and improving design.

At each event that you attend you get better, you have fun, you wear out your machine. Others not at the events that week are practicing and working on their robot.

When the Nationals come we have many polished drivers, quality tested machines, a real tough competition for all, no matter how many events they attended.

Yes it makes the build time longer, more time to learn. Re-design is as valuable as first prototype in exploring engineering for the students.

Does the lock and wait really benifit teams and FIRST?

Well what do others think??????????
