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'm sure all of these people were including time between the "end" of build season and competition. 8.3 hours per day is working from just before 3 (when I assume school ends) till 11 at night. This isn't factoring in that many people work a lot more on the weekends, which would reduce the time worked on weekdays.
It's a lot for sure, but knowing the commitment of some of these people personally, I don't think they're lying. Once you factor in time after build season, and time at home doing CAD (which sometimes took me far into the wee hours of the morning), your time "at" robotics during "build season" can add up pretty fast. I assume if you asked for time physically in the shop during the six week build season, you'd get different answers.
