Re: Build Season Extensions

By this point last year, we had missed at least as many days from the cold... In fact, I think the first 3 days of build were missed! No extension on the build season. This year, we haven't missed any days (in fact, we had a ridiculously warm January, with pretty much no snow).

Delays and unplanned missed time is, unfortunately, a reality in engineering projects. Teams (not just FIRST teams, but professional teams as well) should always plan ahead, include a sizeable buffer in their efforts, and ensure that even with unplanned delays they can deliver on time.
