Re: how often does your team meet during build season?
Team 188 meets Monday - Friday from the end of classes till about 10. As with other teams that tends to go till 11 if needed. In the last hours the janitors will allow us to stay later with conditions. We also meet Saturday 9 - 7 and Sunday 1- 10. Everyone on the team is expected to bring at least one meal for the team. Some of us that are there every night bring 2. The team also meet at lunch were eating, homework and robot build take place.
Members are encouraged to keep grades up. Help can be found in the room with students and teachers. We do not expect everyone to be there every night but attendance is looked at for going to regionals. The students sign in and out for safety and an hours spent log. If there are tie breakers for going to a regional then we look at the hours spent.
Mentors attend 98% of the time with some mentors going to special meetings (hockey) but all are back by supper. Supper is held Sunday - Friday at 6 and lunch on Saturday is at 1. I will warn that burnout will happen without constant awareness.
