In 2008 my team met every day of the week and most of Saturday and Sunday to build
this robot. We were a reasonably competive team and were picked at the bottom of the first round at a fairly deep regional.
In 2009 our head mentors were unable to commit as much time, one had moved up the chain at his day job and the other had burned himself out working round the clock the previous year. So we made a conscious choice to meet only 3 days and week, and not Saturdays until after Week 3, and hopefully not Sundays at all. We stuck to that schedule (ultimately meeting about half as much as we did the previous season), built
this robot and were still picked at the bottom of the first round at the same fairly deep regional.
Work expands to fill the available time.
