This comes out to 9.5-11.9 hours a day if you worked every day this build season.



Now, this. 700 is roughly 16.6 hours a day if you worked every day this build season. Even if you meant the entire season, let's take a 12 week period, that comes out to 8.3 hours a day.

Now, I'm not one to deny the time we give to the program, but I don't believe any of you.

Personally, I'm staring down the barrel at around 114 hours spent in the shop during build season.

I know this year i was at robotics from usually 3-8,9,10 weeknights and later of Fridays, along with 11am until the early ams the next morning ( we pulled 1 all nighter on week 2 or 3 that was a 22 hour shift). and usually from 11 or 12 until 5, 6 or 7pm on Sundays. I know it is a stretch for 500 hours during build season but i think its possible because i know last year, i didn't even go home on weekends usually it was Friday until 3-5 in the morning and back the next morning sometimes before 11, same with the Saturday night and Sunday morning.

And btw u cant look at an average because you are not going to work the same number of hours on a weekday as a weekend. I know my longest shift this season was 22 hours. Whatever work you do on the weekend will push your average up greatly especially if you spend all your time at robotics when you are not at school.
