At 5:30 we go as a team to dinner and once 3-4 people finish we go outside and start playing hacky sack and that usally lasts untill 6:15. Then we go back to builing, with some drink breaks (we get unlimited re-fills from the fountain machines)

Lunch. We walk either up the hill back of our build site for fast food or go to a deli across the street and down aways. Sometimes we will play volleyball (have a picture somewhere of the team doing so). Then it's back to the grind.

we take a small food break (lunch or dinner, whatever it happens to be) and just sit down and talk for a few minutes...I sometimes just eat and if we're not talking about anything related to the robot, or robotics, I just leave and go back to doing my work

Pretty much the parents of the people in the team bring us food everyday. The parents have it set up so one parent brings food each day and alot of tiems we have left overs and such, pretty much each day we get a 5-10 minute break to eat and talk and such. After that its build build build build, home...

Break from building? Except for having to go home, the rare working tea break, pizza or setting part of the garage/robot on fire... That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

EDIT: Oh, and there's a strange thing called school which gets in the way a lot too...

we're not allowed to take breaks unless its eating the food parents provide for us on wednesdays after our meetings or weekends for full work days so we sneak out and grab one of the old soccer balls we used for OCCRA and go to our back field and play soccer. or we drive around and hang out and then get yelled at when we come back.

we only break when the teachers tell us to go home, and even then some of us manage to keep working with one of them for at least an hour, on a good day... lunch ... dinner ... breakfast (on sat and other school off days) ... testing parts of the robot can cause everyone to come and watch, but that's about it.

so far from what I've figured, breaks for us is to just go eat at lunch and dinner time then back to work and at the end of the build day where the teacher tells us "go home" some of always say "almost done, almost done, few more minutes".
