I guess you can find fault with the game, or you can find fault with how you play the game?

Adam,

MrForbes can certainly answer for himself, but if I can be allowed a guess ... I think he might be saying that "less" can be "more" (much more) .

To my way of thinking, I want to jump on his bandwagon and suck every bit of wisdom that I can out of his team's approach, before I even think about copying the rushed shipments, and two-three robots approach(s).

The JVN vs Copioli contests, MrForbes' comments, and other related evidence, tell me that the search space for ways-to-improve-build-seasons (and the students and the robots that build-seasons produce) contains a heck of a lot more dimensions than just the calendar-days that a build-season lasts.

That evidence also strongly suggests that those other dimensions might be much more important than adjusting how long the current build season lasts.
