How long for planning??

[firemaster193]

Planning really depends on the game and what your team is good at doing every year our team has been really strong in offense but feaseable in defense our planning time usually lasts from a week to 2 weeks it just depends on circumstances

Its take my team about 4-5 days to plan our robot and at the same time we are building and welding our base frame. (use a general frame and adapt it to the game) don't dedicate your whole team to one thing, have several groups working on different things and then have a meeting at the end of every week to get everyone on the same level.
