-I would suggest building 2 robots if you have the resources. We had about 25 active members last year and it worked out reasonable well.
-We have two sessions a day (during the school week) that start after school. The students typically choose or go to both.
-We strategize/design the first few days then we start prototyping at the end of week 1. We typically prototype a part until it seems useful, but we continue to iterate until it is refined. When we make a working prototype we start building 3 competition versions (1 for comp. bot, 1 for backup bot, and 1 spare.)
