Eliminating "Start Build Day"

[JesseK]

If I have to spend an inkling of Christmas break (Thanksgiving->New Years) on robotics in order to remain competitive in FRC, I'm out. I do things with the team during that time, but it's more training, managing the non-profit, and team building than anything.

I'm also of the opinion that people who build things before they know what they're building for are fooling themselves if they believe they'll be competitive with teams who are able to build on a much shorter timeframe after knowing what to build. It's like saying "design a car in 1 year" vs "design a car that is THE BEST at fuel economy in 6 months".
