Re: How long does your team plan?

We spend roughly the first week discussing game strategy and robot designs, then begin construction at some point on the Saturday at the end of the first week.

However, only various components are finished as we go along. Our design keeps changing as we go, and sometimes we're still designing things in week 5/6 because of test failures or rude awakenings (we came up with the mechanism for releasing balls Saturday before ship, and tested it President's day, which is our ship day).

I'd like to keep such events from happening this year. Hopefully we can figure everything out earlier.
