Re: how often does your team meet during build season?

As Mika said, we mostly just meet Wednesday and Friday evenings and then all day Saturday, with the occasional Sunday thrown in if necessary. But the last weekend (from Thursday night to Monday night) most of the core members spend all their waking hours in the shop. We've yet to sleep there overnight, but there's been talk of resorting to that for the coming build season (efficiency?). Although it might be useful to have more meetings, many of our members have homework or other extracurricular conflicts, and also it's hard enough already to find parent volunteers for all the supervision and food slots.

How do you guys get homework done? I mean, I'm all for sacrificing schoolwork in favor of robotics, but still, it seems like meeting every day after school until late in the evening would be a recipe for either zero homework done or zero sleep.
