What's the main reason why you teams keep track of it? Travel?

I have several motivations when I track our kids' times. We have travel and varsity letter requirements related to how much time kids travel. Signing in and out is important so we know who is on site and if anyone has left. On our team, we try to give the kids real-world experience in design, manufacturing, business management, etc. One of the real-life things they learn to do is sign in and out of work. The kids also use it as a competition to say who logged the most hours during build season.
So why are we trying to go to Mars? It's because it's bigger, better, and bolder. Doing what nearly no other team can do, and defying all those who say it can't be done. That reward is a lot more than 9 points. - Mike [more]
