What can FIRST do to increase FRC team sustainability?

This thread has derailed into one where the word sustainability could be interchanged with competitiveness.

6 weeks is a lot of time to build a low to middle-tier robot (i.e. good 2nd pick robot). Building a very competitive one becomes way more time sensitive, especially those that build 2 robots.
For a team that spends quite a bit on our program, I still see building 2 robots somewhat wasteful, especially to circumvent the bag/tag rules in being more competitive.
FRC has turned into a program that had put all its eggs in the build season to one that teams schedule their build season around the events they participate in. Ironically, the robot allowance started this change in mindset/philosopical idea about what the actual build season is by allowing teams an avenue to keep working on their robots, and now many teams want to get rid of bag/tag. Wasnt the weight allowance created primarily to allow teams that got snowed out of construction?
It'll be interesting to see what FIRST does in the future, but as always, the benefit isnt always advantageous for every team that participates, similar to that of districts vs regional participating teams. I wish we would be on the receiving end of the advantage of eliminating bag/tag, but unfortunately not.
