Average number of hours per week?

[akoscielski3]

This is a little off-topic from the hours/week thing but, we have recently started an FLL team for the first time in our histroy. The FLL season starts on the 3rd of September (correct me if i'm wrong), Unfortunatly school in our area doesnt start until the 6th of September. Is it a really big deal if the FLL team starts late? And as far as I know the team hasnt even been selected at the school, we got it started just before school ended befreo summer. Im guessing that it would take a few days after to get everything straighted out at the school too, so im guessing that the students wouldn't really get to work on the robot until the 10th? Since this is our first year, i dont really understand FLL yet and we are completely unexperienced. I still need to read the FLL book too, which may help me.

(also i feel stupid cause i dont know how to start a thread can anyone explain it too me?)

Thanks
