I have created this thread in response to this one:

This is a post that I read in that thread and it got me thinking:

See what you don't understand about us students is that we don't know when to stop. By the time build season is over, I find that a large majority of the students are burnt out and need to take a break from robotics. I know a lot of people who towards the end of build season already start to fall ill and fall behind on school. Making build season longer would just hurt these students even more.

I will add more of my views later (I have posted a brief bit in the other thread), but I am curious, how would the rest of you students feel about a longer build season? Love it? Hate it? Be impartial?

I look forward to reading what comes up.
