I understand that meeting more is hard. But the idea that you are using the same amount of time as every other team just isn't true. Teams are already building well past this "Stop Build Time". You could still stop at 45.5 days, if that's what you are currently choosing to do.

Oh I absolutely understand and agree with you that teams don't use the same amount of time. My point was rather that teams would be, in a way, obligated to through competitive pressure and passion to help students get the best FIRST experience possible. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it would require a significant change in how we deal with an already problematic level of mentor burn out.
