Re: Hours
 

Monday through Thursday: typically 6:30 - 9:00 (we used to stay later, but the custodial staff gets off earlier, and needs time to lock up the building)
Friday: the occasional emergency meeting, if there were snow days or we're super behind schedule
Saturday: typically 8 am - 5 pm
Sunday: typically 12 - 5

So that's about 24 hours a week.

Re: Hours

Re: Hours
 

Monday through Thursday : 3:00PM-8:00PM
Saturday : 9:00AM ~ 2:30PM
You need more hours =)

Re: Hours
 

All weekdays some of us stay from 2:10 to later than 5, Saturdays start at 9am and end between 2pm and midnight, of course the closing days of the FTC season we left at 10:30.(Pizza hut took an hour to deliver which didnt help)

Re: Hours
 

We work everyday after school from 2:50 till sometime around 4:30/5:00, then saturdays from 10:00-whenever it all depends on what we can do and what needs to be done. we're all really paranoid this build season because we barely were able to ship last year and we still needed all the time at competition to fix stuff. note to everyone, don't change all the electrical stuff AND add pneumatics in week 4. it was not a well rested time in my life.

Re: Hours
 

For 1444:

Monday - Friday: 5:30-9:00PM
Saturday: 9:00AM-5:00PM
Sunday: 2:00-7:00PM

All the times are tentative and we usually end up staying later than we expect. We take no days off. Towards the end, we might work 18 hour days and there have been a few years with 24 hour days. Last year on the Friday before the robot was shipped, worked from 5:30PM-1:30AM and was back at 6.5 hours later. People bring food when our times interfere with meal times. This schedule works well for us. I can't imagine spending any less time.

Re: Hours
 

Typically;

Monday-Thursday: 2:30PM-10PM
Friday: 2:30PM-any unintelligable time between 2:30AM and 4:00 AM
Saturday: 11:00AM- any unintelligable time between 2:30AM and 4:00AM
Sunday: 11:00AM-8:00PM

72.5 hours at bare minimums represented here. What is sleep?:P

The more involved will normaly stay untill 8 or 9

Also after school we have a mandatory 1 hour study hall

Re: Hours
 

Until the end of school, which is 3pm (or 2 on thursdays) until as early as 6 or as late as 9... We actually have parents bringing in food on the days we stay really late.

Also, some students have several free periods during the day, where they work on the bot.

Saturday and Sunday are open as long as people need to be there... which is usually most of the day.

Re: Hours
 

We do
Mon 3-7 then a team meeting then after that till 8-8:30 ish
Tues-Fri 3-8
Sat 10am-anywhere from 6-9
Sun noon- 8

During the final week we tend to work longer hours and the hours I posted are a rough estimate it really depends on how much we get done on the day...

Re: Hours
 

We voted an an official 11 hour a week schedule for this year, where traditionally we've operated on an official 15 hour a week schedule. However, I came late yesterday and still put in 4 hours. We do whatever it takes. Saturdays start as a 7:59-3:00pmish during week 1, and by week 6 Saturday's meetings start at 7:59 and last until midnightish... :ahh:

Mechanical, as far as your individual situation, it depends. If you're willing to settle for a box on wheels, you can get away with your current time schedule, and quite possibly less. If you want a six wheeled swerve drive capable of translating and rotating at the same time will launching moon rocks into a goal thirty feet away, then you'll never realistically finish. It's all about setting realistic goals. Just my 2 cents, you'll need more time. If you meet more now, and discover later you can meet less, great! But if you meet less now, you may find yourself wishing you had more time during week 6, which is never a good position to be in. This game will depend a lot on driver skill, so the sooner you finish, the better.

Re: Hours

Re: Hours
 

We run on pretty much the same schedule though we treat sundays just like saturdays.

Re: Hours
 

We require build team members to put in 16 hours a week during build season

Us die-hards put in 40 - 45 hours a week, more towards the end
