Re: Weekly Schedule

Our team meets Monday-Thursday for around 2-3 hours, taking off Fridays (until crunchtime of course ), and about 6-7 hours on Saturdays and Sundays. We require all members to put in at least 40 hours during build season to travel to regionals or nationals. Typically, we aim to have it done by the end of week 5, but in the past few years it's dragged us into week 6, and even stop build day.. This is NOT a good thing. Its much better finishing earlier to allow time for driver practice and tuning the bot. Overlooking either of those things can bring down a good team. The robot is never going to be perfect on its first run. It can take weeks to work out the inevitable problems, and develop ways to overcome them, either by modifying the bot itself, or changing how it's driven. It's also important to know the true capabilities of the bot in order to develop a solid gameplay strategy beforehand.
