We always have finals during build season, but fortunately it's the second week of build. We push hard the first week to figure out where we're going and to get prototypes started, then the second week tends to be a little lighter as people decide if they can afford the time for robotics or need to study more for finals. This ends up being a slower week, but we can use it to finalize prototypes and order parts that wouldn't get in until the next week. And it gives us 4 weeks at the beginning of the next semester to work hard on the robot... and lets face it, the first few weeks of a semester are always the easiest in school
