Re: Weekly Schedule

FIRST Team 1296 meets Mon-Fri for 4+ hours and Saturday for 10 hours - so 30 hours. We try to take Sunday off so people can catch up with family and homework. We add 2 full Monday workdays to that if school is out. If the schedule looks good we might skip a Friday evening or two.

The important thing is to front load your efforts, set miletones and meet them. Like many opinions in this thread we try to have a rolling base in week 2 and a fully assembled bot in week 4. Then weeks 5 and 6 are never ending iterations of practice, tweaking and autonomous mode work.

Good luck
