On the subject of the OP, AP classes are easier to manage once you develop a study strategy and schedule for them. There's certain ways and sources to study from for AP so it's really not too difficult to balance it with robotics. Bring work with you to robotics, let your robotics teachers/mentors know what work you have to complete and time you need. Do AP homework in school if you get time. Biggest help that we have on our robotics team is that we have robotics classes for all 4 grades, so any student in robotics classes is generally allowed to use the Robotics Engineering class period to do their homework. Senior year, a bunch of us had double block Honors Robotics, so this time added up and helped us do our work. If you concentrate, and your teachers are aware of the whole 6 weeks of robotics commitment (MORT's main teacher emails our teachers of all events/build season), you should be doing somewhere around 2.5-4 hours max of homework a night- also depends heavily on the teachers and school mentality towards robotics team.
