Help for Second Year Team

[Moriarty]

Thank you all very much for the advice. I must say the response time and quality of posts on this forum is excellent, very befitting of FIRST.

At some point I will probably take a few days mulling it over and organizing what would be best for our team (after the FTC state competition tomorrow our team will be in full FRC mode).

Another hardship of the team is travel time -- We are a "magnet" high school which means that our students live across the city and often have a very long commute. Any suggestions on working this out?

Try to consolidate your build days - it will mean long nights, but it will be easier for everyone in the long run with less travel time.

Perhaps make it just two or three days after school during the week, then long days on Saturday. And, encourage kids to carpool when possible.

Good luck with everything, we are here to help! Let us know how it goes and if you need anything.
