Please go back and read the posts from Joe Barry (987) and Adam Freeman (67) in this thread. They are among many teams that already have self-imposed time off on their build calendars. On 341 we generally avoid meeting on Wednesdays and Sundays, at least until a final push is necessary. We have learned over the years that a bunch of fatigued and stressed out team members working around the clock is not the preferred way to build a robot, regardless of what your team's capabilities are.
