--- title: Stop Build Day Survey description: Survey on the importance of Stop Build Day in the FRC community. Share your thoughts to shape the future of FIRST Robotics Competition. --- Written by Frank Merrick. Today we’re releasing a very important survey to the community about Stop Build Day. There has been much discussion recently in our community and within *FIRST* HQ about this topic, and we want to hear from folks in a more systematic way. An email blast is going out to all FRC teams today encouraging them to respond. We really want to hear from as many folks as possible! Stop Build Day is the kind of thing to which it’s easy to have an emotional, gut reaction. However, you will see we’ve laid out the survey in such a way as to help you think through various potential advantages and disadvantages of Stop Build Day before we ask you your overall opinion about what approach is best for the long term success of FRC. I encourage you to take your time and think through all of the questions before responding. Please respond to this survey, and encourage others in the community to respond as well. Your opinion matters! You can find the survey here. The survey will close on September 26th.
