Re: How long does your team plan?
Can't speak for 1618 (yet), but last year 1293 spent the first Saturday learning the game and getting the hang of what we wanted the robot to be. Once we had it refined (which was late Week 1, IIRC), we had the two subteams (chassis and scoring) break off and get to work on their respective areas. (The higher-ups, both student and mentor, on each subteam kept the other end abreast of any changes, like when they needed to make sure we kept the front end clear for ball pickup.) Now, actual scoring components didn't go on until Week 6, but that was due to unrelated issues--we were probably driving late week 3.
