How Late does your team Stay?
Question for all teams...
what kinda hours do you guys pull? Our team last year stayed till all all hours between 2 - 7 AM and slept over for several days straight for the 2001 season. This year, new advisor and new rules.. so we are outta luck. another question: do you feel being at Robotics late helps your team? or do you feel that it is better to leave at 9 or so and come back in the morning? personally, I like to get going on something and stay till it's done. i find stopping and coming back kinda messes up my train of thought, causing me to spend an hour or so trying to figure out what i was doing Plus, it's kinda nice to spend that much time with your team. it gives it that kind of family atnosphere. Thanks for the input! ~Pyro |
we usually don't go beyond 11pm on saturdays
10am - 11pm weekdays we do 3 - whenever, but most people leave before 7. A few stragglers stay later (8-10) |
Last year we went till about 11-12 oclock, then just called it quits and came back in the morning. This year, we have been meeting about 4 times a week for about 6-7 hours each time. We get most of our work done late at night when there are fewer distractions, but I think it helps to come back in the morning again so that you are fresh and maybe you can approach a problem differently. I also think its good to get out of the shop for a while and visit the real world to remember what things are like out there. But staying late does create a cool environment. Unfortunately, people start losing focus after a while and at that point we all realize that we have homework to do...
|
Jeez. I just realized how little my rookie team works.
We usually work weekdays, 15.45-18.30 or so. Most people leave before 18.00, though. Not much weekend work, but I get the feeling next weekend will be crunch time. |
the last weekend is always crunch time. thats why we decided this year to finish a week early, and take the really late nights this weekend, and last weekend, but we have yet to see anytime past 10pm because our advisor always makes us leave early. i can't remember any time he let us get food twice in one day, his favorite line is "you can go to food, but we won't be here when you get back"
|
Now we only stay to about 8-10 but the day or two before shipoff we normally pull an all nighter with a bunch of trips to dunkin donuts :o (we would go to krispy kreme but it is over an hour drive:mad: )
|
every hour of every day
I encourage students and mentors to devote as much time as possible on the team and the robot.
Mentors who are really involved can expect at least 30 hours a week on the project at a bare minimum. Students probably spend half that much time in the actual assembly area, but do devote more time to chairmans, animation, and side projects where time is budgeted individually. We meet four times a week as a group. The robot team meets everyday from about 2pm to midnight, and Saturday from noon till work stops being productive. All these times are loose.....most meetings are scheduled but run well past their scheduled times. Most students can't stay too late especially during the week. They understand that we work overnight and often finish projects that they start.....but this just leaves them more to do the next day! Anthony Team Advisor -- 857 |
We're not stressed at all this year because we follow schedule and get things done on time... very nice compared to previous years.
Weekdays are from 5:30 to 9:00 PM and weekends are from 9:00 AM to 5:00 or 6:00 PM... of course, if things need to be done, we'll be up all night regardless of school in our head engineer's machine shop. |
We're a rookie team, and we just started in January ( that is, we didn't have any pre-season meetings ). Near the beginning we'd leave around 1700-1800ish, but these days we tend to meet ( weekdays )1500 to whenever we finish. Tends to be 2000, but we actually stayed to midnight the other week[ A bit of advice? If you carpool to a seperate site, make sure you don't leave your car someplace that gets locked up ( like a school campus :D ) ] We also meet on Saturdays, from maybe 9 or 10 AM until whenever. We have a tendacy to work in shifts, and a few of us keep blankets and pillows in our cars, and just catnap when needed.
Lots of food runs... there's a Walmart across the street from us, so we're good. :cool: |

We'll finally be moving tomorrow. |
our team does Thursday and saturday meetings, this week we also have a sunday meeting. Thursday is 3 - 4:45, but about 5 of us usually stay till 5:30, 6ish. Saturdays is usually about 8-12:30. These rules no longer apply in the last weeks however ;)
|
we spend from about 5-9 pm everyday and then 10 am - 10 pm on saturdays and 1-5 on sundays.
|
you guys stay REAL LATE!!!
we've been staying monday-friday from 2:15 until 5.. and we were working last saturday from 8-12 and this saturday from 8-2:15ish.. somehow we're getting our bot done, too.. amazing. |

|
we've been staying 'til 11 or 12 every night.
might pull a few all nighters before we ship... who knows? |
Re: How Late does your team Stay?
Quote:
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 |
Quote:
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 Friday: 2-10 Saturday + Sunday 2-6 After 3rd week MWTh: 2-9 Tueday 2-11 Friday: 2-12 Saturday: 10am-11pm Sunday 10-8 During 5th week and beyond: 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.
|
M,T,W,Th,F - 4 -- 10... 11... 12... 1 (not later than that)
Sat - 9 AM - 10..11..12 (today was just 8, actually) Sunday - nothing yet, but we might...... |
just got home... lol i think itz about 200 er so... but sometimes we stay as late as 4 on the weekends and 1 on weekdays... ya gotta sleep sometime... ahahha... all nighters are a commonplace...
im tired... i need some SLEEP!!! happy roboteering... |
i just got back to my room.... (3:00 am)....
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.....
|
Team 990: We have three classes working on it (42 minutes 3 days a week and 85 minutes one day a week each), and the "devoted" of us work an hour or two after school--although me and FAK'll be there for two or three, what with having only 6 of 8 classes. Saturdays a few people show up from 8-noon, although we coulodn't do that this week with our advisor (physics teacher) at a science bowl tournament or something like that. Next weekend, I expect to spend 16 hours there--which is quite a bit for me. I'm really vying for the driver's spot this year, even though I don't know the software well (we find that gamers make the best drivers--and I'm near the best you'll ever see).
|
Our teachers don't let us stay past 8:30. We've found that half of the team stops working after dinner anyways. Sleepy people do not make the best builders.
|
our mentor only lest our team stay until about 5:00-5:30 on weekdays and not much later on weekdays. We are seriously behind due to these constraints. Hopefully we will be able to work later these last few days.
|
Not long enough?
We don't stay anywhere near long enough to get work done, we suffer from a severe lack of long range planning and anticipation of our needs, and we're nearly being forced to ship a day early. All to screw me over, I'd think. |

Wow yeah....I had no idea everybody stayed that long.
Our meeting schedule is 6:00-8:30 Monday-Thursday 9:00-4:00 Saturday I'm tired just thinking about 10 to 10. |
It depends on whuyat we are doing..
We work longer if it is just grunt work. If we need to actually do some complicated work (like design, etc.).
|
Well, usually I am there from 3pm - 9pm. But on weekends and days we have off, I am there from 8am - 9pm. Like a couple of weekends ago, we had a 4 day weekend. 46 hours in 4 days. Dang that was crazy. Got a lot done though.
Scott |
We typically go until about 5:30 until the last two weeks. Then, we add about a half-hour a day (or so it seems). Now, we're goin until about 7:30, but the last few days, we'll probably stay till midnight. We rarely go past then, but we have occasionally.
|
Our team has been going 5:30-9 on school nights, and 9-5 on Saturdays. We've been getting sundays off from robotics :)
|
Our team has been staying later and later as this thing goes on...but we are getting a lot done...(altho being tired isnt always good when working on machienery....my finger met a ban saw the other day :ahh: ...luckily it only sliced me a little).
But, there is a matress where we're building the bot....so we can take a nap if we really want to (today the bot was pushing the matress and the person on it around on the floor...lol) |
Our weekend so far:
Friday: school is closed due to the snowstorm on the east coast, which means we can't get into the shop. No work gets done on the machine. All the parts of the mobility system that were going to arrive at the end of this week cannot be delivered, because the school is closed. Since there are no Saturday deliveries, we won't get our stuff until at least Monday. That four-day delay is going to hurt. Saturday: Almost the whole team arrives at the shop at the school to start work at 9:00am. During the day we decide that waiting until Monday for those ever-so-special 14-tooth gears is going to put us too far behind, so we re-calculate some of the center-to-center distances in our transmission design, and substitute slightly suboptimal 15-tooth versions that we have on hand. Steven wanders off, new drawings in hand, to the shop to start milling out version 3 of the side plates for the transmission. The school closes at 5:30pm, so six of the students and I pack stuff on over to the shop in my garage, and start work again at 6:00pm. Pizza arrives from Papa John's at 8:30pm. It is gone by 8:32pm. 9:00pm and it is cold (did I mention that there was a snow storm yesterday?), and the kerosene heater just ran out of fuel. Spill kerosene all over the garage floor while refilling the fuel cell. Use nearly an entire roll of paper towels mopping up the mess, and dispose of them carefully in a metal can (no spontaneous combustion catching the house on fire for us!). It is now 10:30pm and it is frikkin' COLD! So we fire up the forge and use it as an additional space heater. By midnight Steven has finished milling out the last of the side plates for the transmission, for the fourth time (#$%@# metric gears with #@$% ENLARGED teeth throwing off the center-to-center calculations!). We decide to quickly spray paint them black before re-building the transmissions. By 1:00am we discover that fast-drying paint really is, and it also DOES NOT wash off your fingers with soap and water, no matter how blisteringly hot you make the water. Sigh. I will just have to wait for it to wear off. By 3:00am Kyle has just about finished wiring the control system, except for running the last of the PWM cables that we left at the school. Have to remember to find them tomorrow. At 3:15am we find that grabbing the wrong end of a pencil soldering iron is a really bad idea. I have a new burn hole in my jacket. We decide that we are too goofy and unproductive to continue, so the students leave at 3:30am, with a promise to pick up some valve-grinding compound from Fairfax Auto Supply on the way back. Sunday morning, way too early: A few hours of sleep, see the family, grab a quick shower and a breakfast of Krispy Kremes and Diet Coke, and then back in the garage shop. Students arrive at 10:00am, and - yes! - they have valve compound in hand. As we suspected, it makes great lapping compound when it is early Sunday morning and there is NO WAY you are going to get lapping compound from any usual sources before Tuesday. It is still frikkin' cold, so fire up the "space heater" once again. There is some talk about just melting down everything that we have built and turning it all into little cast aluminum teapots or something, but that quickly subsides. Work until 1:00pm, then pack everything up and troop back to the school where the rest of the team is gathering. We spend most of the afternoon lapping in the gears on the drives and building up the rest of the mobility system while others on the team are practicing driving with ED V2.0 from 2001. Kyle and Sean have the line-following and stack-seeking software working, and are tuning it with the mini-bot they built from the EduRobotics kit. They should be finished with the "self-destruct" code by tomorrow. If our treads and pulleys arrive tomorrow, we should be driving ED V4.0 with the new transmission by the end of the day. If not, we have our emergency substitute temporary solution utilizing lawn mower wheels that will be working on Tuesday. Everyone works until 6:00pm, when we get thrown out of the school again. They are calling for more snow again late tonight, so we haul a bunch more stuff back to the garage in case school is cancelled again and we have to work there tomorrow. Spend the next few hours updating the transmission drawings with the changes we made, and cleaning up our design notes. A little bit of work on the White Paper we are writing to update the no-CNC/no-EDM transmission design we published earlier. Just enough time to check up on the CD boards before midnight... So let's see. 48-hour weekend. 31 hours working on FIRST. Yeah, that seems just about right. -dave --------------------------- Jokes that are REALLY FUNNY at 3:30am, but at almost no other times: John: What are "ferrous metals"? Dave: They make wheels out of them. John: Huh? Dave: Yeah, you know, "Ferrous Wheels" Sean: But what about polycarbonate? Dave: Rides on the wheels. Sean: Hhuuuhhh??? Dave: Yeah, you know, Polly - Polly Carbonate. She rides on the Ferrous Wheels. --------------------------- |
Lets see... it is Sunday night... I just got back from working on the robot. The last time I sat in my own room was about 2pm on Saturday... my hands are bleeding, and my I am very tired. You tell me how many hours, I can't do the math right now :rolleyes:
|
I'll do it for you brian. We get home from classes go straight to the school. We work from about 4-7 on weekdays. On fridays we stay a little later. And this weekend we worked saturday from 8-2 am on sunday 8-9 pm. And I am sure that we still have many hours to go.
|
A typical weekday will start around 4-5pm, after homework, after school activities are done, etc. Most students will trickle home around 8-9pm, but the "hardcores" will stay until the engineers leave. Problem with that is, the engineers don't leave until the students leave. What you end up with is 2 or 3 students staying with the engineers until 1:30-2am, until both sides decide to call it quits. The result- if you're seriously involved on our team, you'll be staying well past midnight on 4 out of 5 weeknights, and in some cases later on weekends.
|
The latest that we've stayed is 1:30 AM this year. However, l2002 the night before ship date our software engineer stayed 36hrs.

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

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: |
I didn't get home till midnight on wednesday... A first for me. I have always, always gone to bed by 10:15 at least, usually 9:00 on nights with school the next day. And I didn't feel any worse off the next day. Only felt as tired as I have normally been these past 6 weeks. My word, our autonomous mode will rock! For some strange reason, I became the major programmer for our team even though I don't go to WAHS(see sig). Our robot will classified**************************************** ******************************** autonomous mode.

How do you guys manage school?

Managing school?
It is so easy, how could you not manage it. I have precal, chem, ocean, history, Lit, and Sat Prep. You need to budget time just right. i got 9 periods a day and i can mange with good grades and robotics. You need to know when to stop building robo and go home and do work. Or the opposite in which you can spend more time building and less time on homework if it is easy. Just work it out and see what needs to be done and what doesn't in which you could put off and do latter. Managing is easy trust me, it gets easier as you get older.
|
Dude, I have Honors History, AP lit III, forensics, Precalc, AP Psychology, Honors Chemistry, and Human Anatomy. I have homework from time to time (every night)
|
mon-thurs 3:30 pm - 12 am
fri 3:30 - 2 am sat 10 am - 2 am sun 2 pm - 10 pm give a take an hour here or there we don't have a program in school so we can't work on it during the day. |
I was starting to get worried about how little it seems some teams spend on their robot!!!
In the last week, i didn't leave until 2-3am every night on school nights and later on weekends. One of our team members AND MENTORS pulled 2 all nighters in a ROW to get the custom circuit done together on time. Maybe it's becuase we didn't budget time well and made 2 huge steps in one year (translational drive and an arm). But we sure have been working our pretty little butts off!!!!!!! and we drove before ship, so i'm happy now! lauren |
Monday- thrusday 1400-0 not usually later than 100
friday 1400- after 0 saturday 0700 till after 0 are we crazy or what? lol |
i stay with the robot for the entire 6 weeks, although it might have something to do with it being built round my house....
|
We were lucky enough to have all last week off. So basically most people would show up at the lab anywhere from 9-11 AM and work nonstop on the robot until 9 PM. I say nonstop because it made it very difficult to program the autonomous stuff when the robot was never available to drive!
I usually got to the lab around 1 PM and did stuff until the robot became available around 9 PM then stayed up with 2 other programmers until 3-4 AM tweaking autonomous programs (we have several). Wednesday night we decided it wasn't even worth it to leave so we just stayed at the lab all night. I got 2 hours of sleep but Ajay didn't get any. Thursday I got home at 5 PM and slept until Friday at noon. That's the longest I've ever slept (19 hours). |
Our team, like a few others I, also have some pretty extreme hours. We did 4:30-10:00ish Mon-Fri. 9:30-11:00 Sat. and about the same for Sunday except a couple of us, including myself, came about 12:00 on Sunday because we went to church. The days right before we shipped though we almost pulled all-nighters. Thankfully someones mom donated a cofee maker. Trust me, it diffently got used.^.~!
|
our hours usually ended up 3-9 on monday and wed - 3-5 on tues, thursdy, and friday then sat 10-6 (usually 10-10ish) and sunday 1-6 - except it snowed here like 2 times during the build and since its NC everything shuts down - so the last week or so was extreme. the night b4 ship we stayed until 2am - i got home at 3. then the next day one other team member and i skipped classes all day to pack up the robot! - that was the greatest day - skippin classes for robot!
|
We stayed until they shut off the lights or they kick us out.
|
RECORD
Um i think we we have the record...unless someone wants to prove me wrong...on the weekend b4 ship we had multiple 9:00 AM to 4:30 AM (not a typo)...
|
3:30 - 8 M-Th
3:30 - 5 F 11:00 - 3 Sat |

Re: Re: RECORD

Whine much? :D I think we had about 5 people who didn't get more than 10 hours sleep in about... 4 days... yeah... Then we rested for one night, and did it again. Yeah... we pushed it a little close this year. |
Without having read all the posts, I'm adding an anecdote of the insanity of my team.
We live in a dorm which is attached to the basement of another dorm, which is where we work (when we can). During the build period we met every day at 5:30 PM (classes end at different times) and worked until at least 9:00 PM. The weekends started when we woke up and ended when we got kicked out. The crazy part is that most of us would take back parts or the whole robot and work on it in our dorm rooms late into the night. The last week no one slept. We would skip homework, get up early, work on the robot, go to class when necessary, work on the robot some more and hopefully slip a meal in there now and then. I suppose we never technically stopped working in some aspects. Just as a testament to how unhealthy that is: I got sick on Thursday in St. Louis. I ended up in the mentor position and had to deal with a fever under those ultra bright lights. That's unhealthy since I probably should have been in a hospital bed, but we had spring break afterward and now I'm feeling better. A note to FIRST-a-holics out there: 18 hours of sleep over a 7 day period is not a good idea! P.S. Don't tell my coach I was that sick :) |
We spent 24 out of 48 hours in the last weekend. Wednesday night, we didn't leave Visteon until 1 AM. It was ridiculous.

Re: How Late does your team Stay?
Last year, and now this year, we got our school to schedule in-service days on the friday before, and the day of shipping, so 5 day workend. Fortunatly, there is a grandmother who lives about 2 minutes from school. So we either crash at her house around 3:30 am, or just "sleep" at school.
Although as the sign by our door says "Go home, you've made enough mistakes today" |
Re: How Late does your team Stay?
Weekdays : 6 PM - 11 PM

Oops, I just realized that this thread had not been posted in for 2 years, oh well, still an interesting discussion.

Re: How Late does your team Stay?
Our team's "set" times are weeknights from 5:30 to 9:30, Saturday from 9 to 5, and Sunday from 1 to 5. But we stay a lot later all the time. And we get here earlier on Sundays. A friend of mine on another team said that we practically live at the shop, since I am always here when I am talking to her. I think it is good to finish what you are doing because most people, I am assuming they are like me, will lose their train of thought. And we work well under pressure of time.

weekends, 8am to 11pm these couple of weeks are extremely heavy. We sometimes stick around an hour later as we need to clean up the mess we create. |
Re: How Late does your team Stay?
Right now, we've only been allowed to stay until 8 PM, but we think we might have to stay much later. All this weekend, we're staying until 10 or possibly later. All of the time we've spent has been more than worth it.

Re: How Late does your team Stay?
for the last 4/5 weeks its been 3:30 to 6 (or 9 for programmers) pm every wednesday then the groups meet in the other weekdays randomly and do stuff. Saturday is a 9am to 8pm day, and sunday is 11am to 8pm ish day. Althgouh this week is half term! :) (over here, we have 3 terms a year, with each one in 2 halfs with a week inbetween the halfs. so since the start oif thte year we have had 5 weeks, and are in our half term, then we have another 5 weeks, then its easter break / competition time! good timing for us! :))
Being half term we are building for 6/7 hours a day at various peoples houses... |
Re: How Late does your team Stay?
We have fairly regular hours. We meet every day from the end of school (and sometimes earlier if people don't have to go to their last class) around 2:30pm until about 6, or our advisor kicks us out 'cause he has to go home to his wife :rolleyes: (in his defence, he does live almost two hours away from the school) On saturdays we're here early... 'round seven or so, and leave around three. We're lucky if we get dunkin' donuts, though.. I know I've been living off the pb&j he keeps stocked in the back room :D

Re: How Late does your team Stay?
we work monday through friday, sometimes sunday also. on weekdays, we work form 2:30pm-6pm or later like 2:30pm-11pm. on weekends, we stay like 8am-12:30pm, but the advisors and some students stay a lot later than the regular students.

Re: How Late does your team Stay?
Since we work at the Coast Guard Academy, we have to work from 3 pm- 5pm on Wednesday, Friday, and Monday (but most of the team stays until 9pm), and on Saturday, we stay from 8 am- 11:30 am, (or until 4:00pm).
It's great to work at the Coast Guard Academy, but we have a time limit. :( |
Re: How Late does your team Stay?
We usually stay eleven, twelve hours. Sometimes, more. :)

Re: How Late does your team Stay?
Reading the amount of time other times works makes me angry at team (mostly advisorers) because we only work week days from 2:00 to 5:30 latest, on average 2 - 4:15, which is probably the main reason we are not done.

Re: How Late does your team Stay?
Wow, everyone does stay relatively late, our team usually starts at around 2 - 4 pm with just me and our programmer than everyone else pours in at around 5, with some that roll in at around 6:30ish, but never the less, clean up on our meeting nights are at 8:30 and we are out by 9, 9:30 the latest. On top of all that we only work 3 days a week, yea 3 days per week, lol well at that no weekends at all, and amazingly, our bot is done except for some play on mods that will only help us. But yea, we dont meet alot but we are just as efficient, i think its just that when u work late u tend to be lazy and less careful. we tend not to push it and therefore we are usually 100% for all our meeting times!! ohhh yea, lol.

Re: How Late does your team Stay?
Our team cant leave the room or alarms will go off. Then gates will cover all the windows and airvents. Attack dogs will be released and we will be escorted back to the room by FBI officers.
