Re: How long?
 

I've been at a Team 190 meeting for more than five hours now, and it looks like it's going to continue to go on for quite a long time...

What fun is the build season if you don't pull at least one all-nighter? :p

Re: How long?

we've been staying at school until about 8ish on tuesdays and thursdays and were meeting saturday from like 9 to 1 i think.... then we are also there every day after school till about 5 or 6:o

Re: How long?
 

well, on weekdays we leave at 6 or 6:30, but stop working at 5 or so, we just play around for an hour or so. then we go from 10 to whenever of saturdays.

Re: How long?
 

How are you done with school at 1:45? So lucky...

We go from 3:30-6 MTW, 3:30 till 7 or 9 (depending on if someone has an event that night so we can mooch their security time) on fridays, 9-5 saturdays. Of course i wish it was 24/7, but supposedly we need "sleep" - a concept i am completely unfamiliar with :-P

Re: How long?
 

must not be a very productive meeting if you have time to mess around on CD :)

We quit at 7 the first few weeks, then it goes on till 9 or so later as things get tight.

And spend two hours on CD after the meeting! not to mention the chat on our own team forum

Re: How long?
 

Two days a week, the last 45 minutes of school are occupied by a "club" block. Our robotics team simply pulls our team together during this time period.

Re: How long?
 

that's not fair, why can't all schools do that, we have to go til 2:20 every day, no matter what.

Re: How long?
 

Our school gets out at 1:50 every day but tuesday, when we get out at 1:00. So our meetings so for have lasted about 4.5 hours on average.

Re: How long?
 

We meet 2:30-5p Mon. and Wed., until 8:30p on Friday, and Saturday 8a-2p. While an all-nighter would be nice, we are not in a school where that can happen, part because of the (IMHO) excessively strict administration, but more reasonably because the janitors are our friends, and we don't want to overstay our welcome. Now if the mentor had keys to the school...

Re: How long?
 

we stay as long as our mentor's wife will let us stay...on weekdays we go no later then 10. on saturdays we go from 9 am till whenever we are done...on sundays we take a day off for homework.

Re: How long?
 

Monday-Wednesday-Thursday 3.10-9.00 (almost 6 hours)
Friday 3.00-5.30(2 and a half)
Saturday 5-8 (3 hours)(I bet it will be longer:))(We start 8.45 and yesterday we ended with 9.30)
Sunday 2-6 (4 hours)

So our total is 27.5 hours:)

Re: How long?
 

team 538 meets from 5pm-8pm on mondays,tuesday, thursday and friday. and on saturday we meet 10am-3pm.

DONT GET BURNT OUT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!!

Re: How long?
 

[jokingly="yes"] Psssshhh! Please, even the most relaxed of schedules in FIRST make us burned out! [/jokingly]

Seriously, that is a concern for some students that also work, have religious commitments, other sports [HA!] or whatnot. Learn your limit, and if you start to get really behind in everything, let your mentor know. I'm sure they'll understand.

Re: How long?
 

We meet every weekday 5:30 to around 10 to 11 and on saturdays 8 to 4ish and we get the day off on Sunday

Re: How long?
 

It varies, but I've been in our lab for no fewer than 8, and up to 14 hours per day since kickoff.

Re: How long?
 

It seems as though 766 doesn't meet that much. We meet Fridays and Wednesdays from 5:00pm-9:00pm, Saturdays 9:00am-5:00pm. On the last (luckily four day) weekend before Ship Date, we stay pretty much around the clock. And of course, we stand around in the hallways after school debating mecanum vs. omni vs. traditional six-wheel tank drives until we are all tossed out by the hall monitors. Then we proceed to debate somewhere else on campus, hoping we don't get tossed off altogether. So far we haven't been!
