Re: How long does your team plan?

Well, we take the design process very seriously, this is our biggest step of the season. Our whole team is involved in this because after this we split up into our seperate groups to get the team ready for ship.

We spend the whole first week after kickoff planning for the season

After Kickoff we spend a few hours discussing the game.
The first monday after kickoff we go to GM and we discuss the game and get everyone on the team familiar with the game so there is no confusion about it.
The Next day we get together and take about the game elements and strategies that we can come up with that will excel in the game. We make it a fact that we do not design anything this day.
On Wednesday we finish talking about the strategies and start coming up with a drivetrain idea.
Thursday we start designing the rest of the robot with our strategies.
Friday we rethink everything and check to see if we made a jack of all trades. We make sure everyones designs and concepts are heard and we make the simplist design we can.
