Re: FIX-IT WINDOW Proposal
David,

I like your idea. I just still have a problem with the 10 hour limit for software work. I believe, as many of you probably also figured out, that the two 5 hour sessions are meant to simulate roughly 5 hours that teams get to work on their robots on Thursday and Friday. But in reallity, I know that many teams, including us, work well more than 10 hours on the robot at a competition. This is even more pronounced for SW since you do not need access to the actual robot to write SW. You only need occasional access to the robot to test the SW. You could theoretically work about 30+ hours on SW during the competition (equal to the hours that the pits are open).
