Team Meetings
 

This is just out of curiosity, but what are the hours for the meetings on your team? Please post at least the following information. Your team #, #of people on team, and what what are your hours? In addition please include anything else that might be of interest.

Team 662 has about 60+ members and we meet daily from 6-9 and 10-6 Saturday. Though we have a lot of members, we usually don't have more than 30 at the build site at any one time.



How about your team?

Re: Team Meetings
 

Team 812 has about 50 members. Meed daily from 4-7 (or as the challenge dictates). 10-4 on Saturday's (as needed).

Re: Team Meetings
 

Team 571 has around 25 students and 10 mentors. We meet 6-8 Mondays, 6-9 other weeknights, and 10-3 on Saturdays.

Re: Team Meetings
 

Team 365 MOE has about 35 students and 20ish mentors and we meet 5:30-8:30 Monday, Wensday and Thursdays and 1-5 on Sundays. Other sub-teams meet as needed.

Re: Team Meetings
 

Team 461 has at the moment somewhere in the range of 50-60 students on the team. We are divided into 3 different subteams: Public Relations, IT, and Tech.

The public relations and IT subteams meet Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 6-9 PM, and Sundays from 1-4. The Technical (Build/Programming/Drive/CAD/Electronics/etc) subteam meets pretty much everyday from 6-9 or more if necessary. Some Saturdays are full days, such as from 9-6 or whatnot.

Having too many people at one time doing stuff can be a critical problem. The larger a team grows, and the fact that the computer lab doesn't grow that much, is difficult for IT and Tech to combine sometimes, and PR is generally limited to 4 computers in a different room. Knowing what days people should come is critical.

Re: Team Meetings
 

Team 177 has about 30 students and about 12 mentors, when everyone is there. Our regular meeting attendance, however, is probably more like 20. We meet for two weekdays (usually Wednesday/Thursday) from 5-8, and on Saturdays from 10-6. We also meet for about four hours on Sunday afternoon, although those meetings are more sparsely attended than others. As for meeting structure, we usually meet as a team for about the first half and hour and talk about orders of business (such as schedules for the next week, what individual groups will be doing today), and then we break up into groups, which, at this point in the year, as far as I can tell, are Controls, Manufacturing, CADD, and Strategy.

Re: Team Meetings
 

1293 has somewhere around 30 total kids, and (counts...) eight mentors.

Our hours are Tuesdays 6-8, Thursdays 4:30-6:30, and Saturdays from 10-5. I'm planning for it to expand as ship date approaches.

Re: Team Meetings
 

team 663 has about 30 members and meets saturdays 1-3 ish, and then for two days of the week 7:30 - 9:00 (9:30)

Re: Team Meetings
 

862 has about 65 members this year. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday build meetings we meet 5pm to 8pm. Wednesday are our large group meetings during build 5pm to 6pm then build meetings from 6pm to 8pm (off season 5pm to 6:30pm). Saturdays 9am to 5pm which last longer farther into build. Sundays are our day off but this is subject to change in the last half of build. On the Saturdays our parent booster club (RPM) brings in lunch for us which is a big help.

Re: Team Meetings
 

Team 1446
Meets every day from 3:30-7 and Saturday 9-4.
We have 35 members but about 20 show up on a regular basis.

Re: Team Meetings
 

Our team is about 50 students and I would say 10 mentors. We meet every Thursday 3-5, and every Saturday from 8-12. During the last week of the build season the electrical and mechanical sub-teams go in almost every day after our mentors work-day is finished (5:30-6)

Re: Team Meetings

Team 104 has about 25 members and meets Monday-Thursday from 6-8, Fridays from 5:30-7:30, and some Saturdays from 9-5(different groups at different times). However, some groups such as programming do most of their work at home.

Re: Team Meetings
 

Team 1474 meets every schoolday 2-5 and Saturdays are usually 12-6ish. Our team size is somewhere in the 20s but our meeting attendance is usually around 9-10 (we're pretty disappointed in the dedication our freshmen and sophmores have been showing). We've got about 10 mentors and per meeting its only 1-3 mentors.

Re: Team Meetings

Re: Team Meetings
 

S.P.A.M. 180

We have about 70 students and 10 mentors. We meet 6:30 pm-8:30 pm Monday - Thursday unless it's a holiday or exams. We stay later if necessary later on in the season. We also meet on Saturdays from 10 am - 4 pm or later depends on what's going on. We occaisionly will do Friday night meetings and Sunday meetings with certain people to finish up various tasks.

Re: Team Meetings

Re: Team Meetings
 

Team 191 has 32 students and about 19 mentors, I believe and we meet every Wednesday from 2-7 (4-7 for adult mentors) and 9-5 on Saturdays with optional days in between (*part of the requirement for kids to travel is to volunteer for the extra hours of work required to finish the robot and any other projects we have to do.

Re: Team Meetings
 

team 710 has about 30 members and we meet from 4-6 mon-fri, and 9-watever time we decide to finish at on saturdays

Meetings are two times a week; thursdays 3 PM til whenever and saturdays 8 AM til about 4 o'clock. Sub-team meetings are held irregularly on mornings before school starts and on tuesday nights after school. Also on exam turn-around week, we put 5 8-hour days of work.

Re: Team Meetings
 

Team 234 has a 40 member team, meeting every night with almost always everyone. Some nights we try to limit the number to a certain subteam that needs to work, i.e. Manufacturing, to try and give everyone a break.

Re: Team Meetings
 

wow. Team 1558, about 20-25 members, 15 regular. we meet mondays to thursdays, 3:30-5pm. 2 mentors, 1 teacher. wow...sad. BTW our transmissions are finished, and we're still debating on designs and strategies.

Re: Team Meetings
 

Team 1549 has about 30 members on the roster. Only 4 to 5 actually meet at any one session. We have about 7 mentors and 4 teachers. Our hours are Mon-Thur 4pm to 9, Sat and Sun from 9 to 6. We only have 3 that are dedicated and have shown up every day. :ahh: One advantage we have is that we have an entire machine shop/tools/ at our disposal since school is actually a college. Our problem is that the highschoolsers are the ones who has to drive/Hp but they show no dedication. College kids have done most of the work so far.

Re: Team Meetings
 

Hmm... I am wondering if our team meets to much.

We (team 1083) meet M-F from 5 -9, although many of the students start showing up at 2:00. We meet Saturdays from 10-5, but most people do not show up until around 2:00 or so.

Re: Team Meetings
 

Team#1382
Our team has 25 students (including website and animation), and 10 of them are completely envolved with the project, plus 2 teachers.
We work every day from 3PM until 9 or 10PM, but it depends. The mechanical project guys are working a lot, finishing the drawings, while we (electronics/programming) are developing the autonomous in a prototype robot.
