Re: Average number of hours per week?

I would suggest 2 or 3 weekdays of 1.5-2.5 hours each, and Saturday about 3 hours. Add a few more hours just before competition. You need time to not only program the robot, but also research a topic and put together a presentation. Younger teams may not be able to handle this rigorous schedule and should revise expectations accordingly.
