Do you think if we had 5 weeks that the 4th week would lead to the same thing?

Re: Why Six Weeks?

I find that 7 weeks' good enough for me. With over 12 hrs at school, it can be really stressful at some times. Also, having only 5 - 6 hours every day for 5 weeks' will push a lot of people to the breaking point. We've spent around two days trying to decide what we could and taking off weight on the robot (I would like to see them extend the weight limit though!). Our IR may not work just yet, and autonomous mode does not look to be perfected until our second regional like last year's...
