After the second year, we figured out the only way to have a shot at finishing is to go 7 days a week from the kickoff. Last year we were on track to have the robot done during week 5 but I ended up in the hospital with pneumonia for the last two weeks of the build.
This year we're behind schedule in that the electrical isn't done so everything else can't be tested. We've been going 7 days a week but there seems to have been little urgency among the students until this past weekend. There would be students around for a few hours a day but around 5:30 pm it would be pretty quiet around the lab.
