We face an additional problem.

Yes exams are a problem. With all the requirements we put on students (Min. GPA)and grades cannot drop if on the team or they are put on probation (yes if they have a 4.0 and drop any they are put on probation) their grades are expected to stay the same or rise.

Exams are the second week of the build.

Also we do not start our 'FIRST' class until second semester. This means that the advantage of having them in a class for communication and activities is not there until the third week of the competition.

FIRST is however constrained by the dates, times, Epcot and 6 weeks of build time.

A no win situation.
