Mythical Six Week Build Season

[Drakxii]

Personally I really like 6 week format, it feels very fitting to an engineering project in the real life. Including the radical changes with short windows and/or weight limits. Also it gives a good amount of time in the fall for training.

Now if they were to change it they should just move kickoff to first weekend in October. Then start competitions in mid January So instead of 6 weeks you have 10 full weeks (ignoring holidays). Teams would have lots of time to practice, not have to worry about shipping/painting/cutting times as much and wouldn't have to meet as long during build season. Also could spread out districts, district champs and champs.

Now while I doubt that would happen any time soon, there would still be teams that show up with robots that didn't work or were just boxes on wheels.
