Re: Poll: Views on the 6 Week Build Season

There is a lot of wisdom to having a hard stop to build season. One is that I (hopefully) get to keep my day job, sanity, etc.

More seriously, it imposes a sense of urgency not shared by other robotics programs. It is part of what makes FRC both as challenging and as rewarding as it is.

Also, in real life real projects have real finish dates. Get used to this!
