Re: How long does your team plan?

2006
Sunday Immediately following Kickoff 8-11: Marathon Brainstorm
Week 1: Prototype
Week 2: Prototype
Week 3: Build Frame/Continue Prototyping other systems
Week 4: Decide on shooter
Week 5: Begin Assembly/Continue prototyping
Days 1,2,3,4 of Week 6: Continue Assembly, desperately attempt to figure out storage tank for balls
Days 5,6: Build storage tank for balls, assemble robot at breakneck speed
7: Test autonomous, Driver practice.

Yep, the whole finish designing by week 3, we kinda missed.

Word to the Wise: This is not a good idea. While during years 1 and 2 the administration and janitor expected we were crazy, they were throroughly convinced after this ordeal. Stress runs very high during those last few days.
