Schedule is forthcoming, we will try to hit all the major tenets of a build season I.e. Strategize, Ideate, Build, Test and Adjust. Those four stages will most likely be truncated to 3 and supplanted with the more aptly named phased approach: "Don't Panic", "Consider Panicing" and "Why havent we been panicing?" We will be putting this schedule together and hope to have it released prior to kickoff.

Why 3 days? Well that's when most early prototyping and strategizing should take place, so we feel it'll offer the most bang for its buck. Plus, 6 weeks is just entirely too long and an awful lot of time to be spending mucking about machine shops and practice fields.

Why did we choose 3? As the good book doth say:

First shalt thou begin to create the Holy Robot, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then posteth thou thy Holy YouTube Videos of Antioch towards thy viewers, who being inspired by sight, shall be challenged to do better.
