Re: How many hours does your team work during the build season? Pol

Well, our schedule is like this
6:00 - 9:30 Monday thru Thursday (14 hours)
Saturday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm (8 hours)
Sunday 11:00 am to 9:00 pm (10 hours)
for a total of 32 hours.

However, many students work on the robot from 7:00 to 7:45 am, during school, study halls, and lunch, and after school for an hour or so. Also, as the build season progresses, we end up using as much time as the school lets us, which is

6:00-10:30 Monday thru Thursday (18 hours)
Saturday 9:00 to 9:00 (12 hours)

Sunday 9:00 to 9:00 (12 hours)

for a total of 42 exhausting hours
(even more if we meet at a mentors house, or if it's a 3-day weekend).

If we did this often, we would all die, so this only happens usually on weeks five and six.

After bag/tag, our team usually doesn't meet for 5 days, as we all need to spend time with our families, jobs, and homework, before they start getting too angry at us.
