Re: Build Schedules

Our sponsor is gracious enough to donate space and workbenches for our team.
Our general schedule looks something like this:

Monday: 6:30pm to 9:30pm
Tuesday: 6:30pm to 9:30pm
Wednesday: 6:30pm to 9:30pm
Thursday: 6:30pm to 9:30pm
Saturday: 1:00pm to 6:00pm

Towards the end of the season, we tack on a few extra hours - Friday is added to the regular weekday schedule, Saturday hours are stretched, and voluntary Sunday hours are offered. This does not include Driver Training hours (who are put on a separate schedule at the appropriate time during the season) nor does it include the time that the students put in during their robotics class during the school day.

The students are responsible for their own schedules during the week, as homework, sports, and jobs interfere. However, we have between 1300-3500 man hours logged with all of our engineers, mentors, parents, and coaches for the build season. Once build season is over, a new schedule will be reformed to the needs of the team and will include Driver Training, pit practice, etc.
