I with you on this.
One of the biggest deterrent to kids joining our program is time commitment. There is already a LOT of it.
This goes for mentors as well. With suggestions to increase build season time being discussed here, I'm not so sure I can find mentors that will decide they can continue if I ask even MORE time from them.

I guess its all relative. Its what we are used to and asking more time to commit to build will and can become the new norm.
Just not sure if I can personally.

I hope my 2nd grade daughter wants to do robotics i.e. vex iq in the next few years.
