Re: Limits on Team Hours

I feel that although the 200 hours rule may seem like not enough , when you do the math, it really isn't that bad...

If you say you're pulling in 400 hours in the robotics lab (meaning, not counting work at home). Even if you work all seven days of the week, you're still pulling in 9.5 hours PER DAY!!!! 9.5 hours of robotics everyday, plus 7 hours of school, and there's only 7.5 hours left in the day....Not to be rude or anything, but thats a little much.....

As captain I put in more time than any other students on my team. I can say that I usually put in about 4 hours of solid work at home per week, plus the 4 hours Mon-Thurs, 6ish hours Friday, and 7 Saturday. Not counting at home work time, thats only 174 hours, and even that is a LOT of hours. A Typical 9-5 work day would clock in at 240 hours in the six weeks
