Re: POLL: Six Week Build Season

I doubt that giving teams more time to work on their robot will inspire them to work more hours.

I participated in NURC during it's run from 2007 to 2013. The build season was from 1 November till the competition in mid June. Many teams did not get their robot done and in the water before the competition, several teams spend most of the competition building their robots. The teams that did well (like ours) used their time wisely, and spent at least a month testing and improving.

You can build an FRC robot in three days.
