Re: [FIRST EMAIL] Stop Build Day Survey
Not keeping up with who? Most teams at the regionals I've been to don't build two robots. Some do, but most (more than half) do not. My team has won in two separate years, as alliance captain,...

Re: [FIRST EMAIL] Stop Build Day Survey
You really don't seem to be grasping my point. I'm not necessarily arguing for or against SBD, but rather for an expectation of work hours that is similar to what many teams have right now. What I...

Re: [FIRST EMAIL] Stop Build Day Survey
No, teams can continue to work after stop build... but the fact that you have the robot in a bag means that very, very many, if not most, teams take a break after bagging the robot, and the level of...

Parkinson's Law: work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion
ending stop build day would not necessarily mean you spread the same amount of time over a longer period. It could...

Re: Build Spaces?
2177, The Robettes got a new facility at the school. The building was completed mid-season in 2013, and the team moved in later that summer.

My experience doing software design has mostly been along these soft-deadlines you mention. I worked for a medical device company for a long time. We would have a hard deadline for the *.0...

Re: [FIRST EMAIL] Stop Build Day Survey
I definitely agree with this... That has to be a very hard rule to write, though! How would you differentiate between a spare robot and a collection of spare parts? Under the definition of ROBOT...

Re: [FIRST EMAIL] Stop Build Day Survey
But if we don't have stop build day, the robot doesn't go into a bag... why would I stop working on it just to practice? And if the robot is not in the bag, how do I, as an inspector, determine what...

Re: [FIRST EMAIL] Stop Build Day Survey

Re: Build Spaces?
That was team 2846, the Firebears.
My team has had several build spaces over the past 10 years. The first was a parent's garage. It wasn't too hard to keep organized, as all we really had when the...

Re: Pockets on Women's Pants
Well, it's good to know you take your overalls with you to college, even if you forget your team shirt and have to make due with another team's when appearing on TV! :D
