Re: Limits on Team Hours

We are getting ready to begin our third year and the amount of hours students are putting into Robotics is very concerning to me. Most importantly, safety. Either driving late at night or being careless with equipment because of lack of sleep.

I am the parent of two kids playing high school basketball. Which takes place for the first half of our build season. Our robotics kids put in three to five times as many hours than my kids do their high school teams.

I think it is totally crazy to see this much time being spent building a robot. I do not think it was the intent of FIRST to have students devote this many hours building a robot. Not during a school year.
