In this thread about a survey about Stop Build Day, I think it would be useful and interesting if each post (even those that are part of a multi-post exchange) began with a short sentence or phrase stating why the poster opposes/supports eliminating, weakening, loosening, tightening, keeping, strengthening (or is undecided about) the current stop build rules.

I wrote something very similar to this in my survey.

The question FRC needs to ask itself is: Does it want to emphasize the engineering, including the trade-offs that are required (everything has a trade-off), or does it want to emphasize winning a competition?
