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

I guess my question is this:
How much time does your team need before they are completely happy with their robot and would change nothing else?

The point that I'm trying to make is that with the open build season many people are currently suggesting there is still a finite amount of time and that time is not long enough to make a perfect* robot. As such we will likely continue to work as hard as we do now for as long as the season will allow trying to be our best.

If the season was year round I believe that we would comfortably be able to make the best robot possible for our team without the intensity of the current season.

The point being, if you provide enough time for teams to build such that every second isn't valuable then all teams can afford to take long, sustained breaks from FRC without affecting their performance on the field and the program isn't all-consuming for students and mentors.

Thoughts on this?
, Bryan


*as good as your team can be
