How long for planning??

[Renegades2012]

My team at this point consists of myself and my sister. Our coach is my dad and our mentor is my brother. We do not have many people in our team and I don't know who to ask because my friends are on the team at my school. We have our frame, motors, and wheels together. It took us all this week to do that. Is that a reasonable time?

Depends on a few things:

1.) How long have you been working a day (roughly speaking)?
2.) How elaborate are you planning on making your robot?

If you're planning on an elaborate bot, or you're putting in three plus hours a night already, you're probably a bit behind schedule. Considering your team size though, and the fact that you're a new team, you guys are probably on a good track. Best of luck and don't be afraid to reach out to your school team for help should you really start to fall behind. I'm sure they'd be more than able and willing to lend a hand.
