Re: How Late does your team Stay?
 

Man you hit the nail on the head!!!

M-F 5:30-11
Sat- 9AM-12PM
Sun- 11AM-11PM

As its gets closer to ship date, add about three hours to every one of those times, and the Day before shipping is always an all nighter 5:30PM-6:00AM

You can't be serious!?!?!?!?

How can you get away with three meetings a week for 2 hours and 30 minutes? How does your bot get done?

Cory

Our meetings this year have been:
M + Th: 2:30 - 6:30

Hopefully we'll be able to work more this next week, but our school is very uptight about letting us in over the weekends when nobody else is there.

Last year, my personal record was 36 hours straight (1pm Friday afternoon until 1am Sunday morning). I had also been at school since 7:15am Friday and didn't finally get to sleep until around 1:30 Sunday morning, which makes for a total of around 43 hours without sleep, most of it with power tools and electricity... :rolleyes:

470:
3:30p - [9:00 - 10:00] M-F
9:00a - [5:00 - 6:00] S

I'm usually there between 4 and 5 because I have a 45-60 min drive out to the build room.

Reasonably Late for what is needed to be done.
 

I'd have to say we stay a reasonable amount of time working on the robot. The Hours are usually Mon- Thurs 2:05 - 7:30ish maybe later but not by more than an hour, Fri 2:05-till about 5:30. and Saturday 8:30 am Till 3 or 4 pm but now the hours have been substancially longer as the Shipping date approaches. But never the less I enjoy working in the metal shop and on the robot and working with the people I do. It really helps having advisors that relate to the students much like ours and also the sense of caring from everybody including advisors. We've got eachotha's backs yah heard?

We started up at around 10 AM and finished up at 10 tonight.

We could have pulled an all nighter, there really wasn't much to stop us, but we were all tired (kinda;) )

Still working
 

We're still hard at work now (9:45 p.m. local time)

first weeks:
Monday, Wednesday + Thurs = 2-6:30
Tuesday: 2-8:30

Saturday + Sunday 2-6

After 3rd week

Tueday 2-11
Friday: 2-12

All Bets are off!
Last year and in 2000 we pulled an all nighter the night before shipping
There are great pictures of me sleeping next to the finished robot at 9am

We have been following a Monday - Thursday 6-9 PM and Saturdays 9AM - 5 PM this year... however, last week.. the three insane people began staying till 11 PM..... from this weekend on ... there will be someone working at all times... I just got home from the shop.. plan on sleeping a couple of hours.. and going back... a couple of us will be moving in about Friday.. and staying till next Tuesday night.

but you have to remember that 190 plays their games of CRUD on saturday nights, so we probably got out of hte lab around 12:30-1ish

Tom

I got bacl to my room last night at 5:30 PM, at first that doesnt seem that bad but we stared at 3 PM the day before. Other than this one time we tend to not stay that late because the high school students are not alound to.

Holy Cow! :ahh:
You all do quite a bit of work don't you?
My team normally works form 2:30 to maybe 7:00 on Wednesdays and Fridays and 11-4 on weekends!
I now have great respect for all of you who sleep over at school for FIRST!

we work from 2 :15 to at latest 6:30 during the week and then 9am to 3 pm on saturday plus some work gets done during the day at times.....
