Re: Too many students in the build site

Our team is at a boarding school, so it may be hard for other schools.
For our build and electronics teams during build season, we have two schedules. Our team breaks in half (mostly due to the day/boarder differences, but not always) and one team meets right after school while the other meets after dinner (7-ish). Usually the teams will prototype different types of robots (with the same base and driving system) and then decide on one. Once they decide on one, the two teams tackle different parts of the robot and practice schedules change depending on who wants to work on what. Every Monday we have an all-team meeting (including all other subteams) to go over progress and goals for the week where people can ask questions and have input. Everyone has one day off during the week and weekend practice can be attended by anyone who wants to come. During the weekends and Monday afternoons are when all builders meet and work together.
Programming and Business usually meet in a different place or at a different time.
