So giving us a little bit of a "head start" with extra time might actually be better than evening it out....   )
Back during the FIX-IT era, that wasn't an issue--something about everybody being at a regional. |
Haha those were the days. Back when Thursday morning involved a small early crew to uncrate the robots!
You are correct and it can be said 6 hours in the shop is more valuable than 6 hours at an event for most teams. I wouldn't say all because in my experience when the bag opens at a shop the productivity takes a slower, more relaxed pace than a group of 5-8 people in a pit with an immediate goal in sight.
However adding up the hours its still more time with your robot/setting up your pit than a district team so we can't tip the scales too much!
