Sorry about that. But having 2 L's in your name doesn't stop you from being weird. (I have 2 L's in my last name as a point of reference.)

It's all good.

Ok, in all seriousness, this survey is kind of terrible and reminds me more than a little bit of the two championship survey so I can't wait for them to roll out a graph and blog post in a month or so explaining how everyone voted to keep stop build day...

I'm not going to make another case for getting rid of it but I sure would like to see it relegated to the dust-bin of FRC history along with stupid rules about pneumatics, spinning incandescent bulbs, and D-Link routers. Or hey, we can keep eating our young and ensuring that new teams have a hard of a time as possible.

Asking if Advantage or Disadvantage. The only one's who see this as an Advantage are those that can finalize a robot in 4 weeks or less and 2 weeks of driving.

So I predict it will lean heavily towards Disadvantage.

Does FRC want this to be more or less of a challenge?

FRC: More

So a 6 weeks build is a disadvantage?

FRC: Then our job is done here.

In all seriousness, it does seem like it was deliberately written so that they can pull some data that says "Hey! A lot of teams like what the 6 week build season brings!"

At least the most important question is cut and dry. Eliminate Stop Build Day or Keep Stop Build Day. It's hard to spin those numbers in a certain direction.

I responded to the survey with the most "I hate stop build day so much" perspective as possible.

And it was very hard to do.

EDIT: The grammar in this post is almost as bad as the survey.
