Re: POLL: When do you finish?
We, unfortunately, usually work right up until ship. This year, we set a goal to be completed with all major construction and programming one week before build. We've found that being able to be on the field on Thursday at our first event (BAE/GSR) is a huge advantage. It gives the drivers a chance to get a feel for the real field, and also allows things like the pyramid climbing mechanism to get a few reps.
