The latest that we've stayed is 1:30 AM this year. However, l2002 the night before ship date our software engineer stayed 36hrs.

Oo boy that 1:30AM night was interesting. Midnight came, and sanity went. Heh that was the night we had our Festo Problems too :p

On mon at 10:00AM Our Pit Crew, Drive team and software gurus got to BAE. At about 10:00PM that night we found out there wasnt going to be school the next day, at that moment we decided we were going to stay the night, We pulled the all nighter, The next morning we had breakfast and continued working, We didnt leave till 4:00PM that afternoon, At 5:30PM everybody else on our team and wondered why none of us were there. 30 hours Straight:D Quite the night...

Most members leave at 6:00 on weekdays, and 3:30 on Saturdays.

Others stay to about 8-9 every day.

Last night, we had guys still working at 4:00am, but I left around 1:30...

I usually stay from about 5:30-11:00 every night if I can.

meeting time
 

Ours is a rookie team made up entirely of highschool students, and the build team usually met twice a week for 3 or 4 hours, with the designer (myself), the electrician (Nick) and the programmer (steve) working on it any time we could.

The longest I spent in our lab was 13 hours in one day, but in the final week I logged almost 40 hours on the robot, while working 23 hours at my job, and still going to school (sometimes going to class...).

Our official work schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday from 5:30-8:30, and on sundays from 12-5. However, this some of us seem to find ourselves there just a little more often than that. Depending on the subteam people were on, some of us were there 4:30-9:30 every weeknight, basicly all day saturday, and from 12-6 on sundays. So, for us it depends on just how much work there is to do at any point in time.

in this last week, i think i went to our machine shop monday morning, and i didnt leave till wednesday night. We are extremely lucky that First extended the deadline because we would not be done. Another problem was that our programmer got a week's detention on week6 and he was the only one who knew the language. So i was stuck programming autonomous mode wednesday night. It took me something like 6 hours just to figure out how to map something to a specific port. But after that, it went much faster. Who needs school :D I finally got some sleep this morning and i just woke up....it was the happiest time of my life, being able to go to sleep

Several mentors and several students stayed the entire night one time, another evening I'm there til 2a, a couple mentors stayed til 5:30a. Another evening, a couple of kids and me up til 2am, then the mentors stayed the evening to pack it up last light. They got home about 4a I think.

late means take out
 

hey. you mean to tell me you guys don't stay with the robot and sleep with it to make sure it gets completed early? just kidding. Team 303 goes late on weekdays to about 11:00, for those who have no homework. while the weekend is another story. I myself go till 12:00 while others might sleep in there cars for the next day, but those are rumors.

You can't be serious: I don't think people sleep in their cars at Bihler - that's a tad extreme. 10-12 is a little extreme also: how could you stay that late - what about homework and school and whatnot?:eek:

at the latest...8 pm
we finished at around 3 pm on sunday :)

the problem with staying late in my school is that the kids so far away. Were a specialized school and kids come from all five boroughs of nyc. If kid leave by 10 (which they do), they wont get home until midnight

Our programmer spent a team record 41 hours strait at robots with only a 2 hour nap the whole time!

We stayed pretty long...
 

First, we met on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 6 - 9 after school. Then we went from 5:30 to 9. Then we started meeting every day of the week. Saturdays and sundays from 9am to 12pm. Then, we were meeting from Mon-Fri, from 3:15pm to at least 10pm. The last week, most of us students that could get out of class worked from 8am to 10 pm....like me....zzz....lol....
:yikes:
