This reads to me as if teams competing in events later on in the season will have anywhere from two to five or so additional weeks to work on their robot. Is that a correct interpretation?

If so, that's pretty lousy.

Sort of. I'll use 1293 as an example. We're going to Palmetto, week five. We will have two five-hour Fix-It Windows available starting at 8:30 AM on March 2, 9, 16, and 23. (Teams going to Atlanta would also have another two windows starting on March 30.) Each of those dates at 8:30 AM local time, the number of windows available becomes two, regardless of however many windows we had available to us at 8:29 AM.

This is, of course, assuming that I read it right. Can someone check my math?
