During the build season, Team 1706 meets almost every day of the week. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, we meet from 3 to 8. Wednesdays and Fridays we are there from 3 to 6. Saturdays are our busy days, meeting from 8am to 5pm. All of these meetings add up to a minimum of about 30 hours a week. But, these are only the scheduled meetings, the most dedicated members are there longer and more than that. I, as well as some others, are often found on Wednesdays and Fridays meeting there until 8 rather than 6. Also, many of us meet on Sundays and, including a few dedicated members, we have had a meeting every day for the past 36 days. Those are the truly dedicated members, and those members shine when it comes to the last week of build season. Last week, some members of my team, myself included, met every day to build our robot, totaling to about 55 hours over the course of that week with nearly 24 of those hours being on the last 3 days. We have a truly dedicated team and, though it takes a lot of time and effort, that effort is what makes it all worth it after we achieve our goal.
