Yeah what Dave said =). There really is no right way to manage time while on a Robotics Team especially during build season where you are more pre-occupied getting the robot done so that the drive teams have as much time with it as possible. I usually let my H.W. & Projects get done at the end of the day if there is still enough energy to do them otherwise it just waits till lunch time the following day. Thankfully enough my teachers were understanding enough to accept the material late as opposed to failing me for not "attempting" to do it in the first place. It's hard to keep to a schedule when building a robot takes most of the time in the first 2 months of the year & anything that gets accomplished after the robot is extra credit =).
