: This is a question I've been wanting to ask teams:

: How many person-hours does your team spend on only the robot (do not include animation, PR, or other team functions)? Time spent on the robot includes brainstorming, design, build, debug, etc.

We've estimated that over our 5 years doing this, we average 1000 person-hours (for engineers) to do the robot. This year was no exception as it came in at almost exactly 1000 hours. For those who aren't familiar, 1000 person-hours is 6 working months for one person working 40 hours per week. This is pretty rough considering we only have 6 engineers working on the robot. I'm just wondering is this typical or not.
