True fact of truth: If the build season was any longer, the CyberCards would be minus one mentor.
That wouldn't be good, since 1-1=0.

The six-week build isn't meant to be real, it's meant to simulate real. It's meant to create urgency, it's meant to create challenge, it's meant to create fun. Think of what we learn - prioritizing, scheduling, time management, streamlining - that are all functions of the six-week build.

I don't think any robotics student member thinks that a build season is just like work any more than doing page 365, problems 10-24 Even is just like being a mathematician.
