Without Stop Build Day - robot gets worked on right up until competition, majority of the team works until competition.

Yes, teams can limit themselves and self police, but practically speaking that's not how it will work. For some teams, that's not even how it works now.

I'd say you're already self-policing by not mandating your students continue coming after six weeks. If you keep doing exactly that (only mandate work schedule for the first six weeks), you'll likely end up in roughly the same situation you're currently in. Do you disagree?

I really don't think most teams are limiting their work schedule because of Stop Build. If they want to work more, then they're already working more. If they don't want to work more, nothing is going to make them work more. This change, in my mind, mostly makes that work more time- and cost-efficient.
