Re: The 6 Week Build Season and 'Mentor Burnout'

3 short points.

1. the biggest obstacle to building a practice robot can be electrical, many teams cannot afford the extra h/w. but this seems like the norm, just to be even a little competitive.

2. the years 1912 did the best, the week long Mardi Gras school holiday fell during build. that tells me an 8 week session would help a lot.

3. PLEASE REMOVE the 30 lb withholding. that made our some mentors think they could just keep on going and usually for our team, that just made a bad robot worse. and we have built a lot of bad robots.
