The FRC qualifying match schedule includes 5 hours Thursday afternoon, 1.5 hours Thursday evening, 2.5 hours Friday morning, 5 hours Friday afternoon, and 2.25 hours Saturday morning. Total of 16.25 hours.
6 minute match cycle time has proved an easy target for field crews to hit this year, because real-time scoring has worked very well. At several events I have seen the field run ahead of schedule by more than ten minutes, sometimes by twenty minutes. I think the MSC crew got ahead by half an hour at one point -- right before Dean spoke.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
