My team comes from two schools, so the students at the home base school do homework, etc. whilst students from the other school come over

Wow. That is significantly a lot smaller (less time) build schedule than most teams.

I figured as much. This still seems like a pretty big time commitment. I don't know the exact reason why our schedule is like this, although I think it may have to do with student engagement and mentor availability.

Interestingly, powerhouse and Hall of Fame team 67 has a very similar schedule to us, according to their website:

Tuesdays and Thursdays: 4:00PM-7:00PM
Saturday: 8:00AM-4:00PM

Weekdays, we meet 5:00 to 7:30. Our school is out at 4:30 and students have to travel to our off-site lab. 7:30 is about as far as we can get before we have burnout and significant slacking off.

Weeks 4 - 6 we may push it up to 9 if we need. The goal is to not need it this (and every) season.

We typically meet Saturdays from around 11 - 4. Sundays if needed to meet a deadline.

Build Season for Fusion is :

Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 3:30 PM to 9 PM (some stay late), 3:30 to 4:30 is mandatory study hall (students tutor each other and go to specific teachers when needed), supper (parent supplied) from 6 PM to 6:30 PM.

Saturday from 12 PM to 6 PM, parent provided snack time.

Holiday's follow the Saturday schedule.

Team members in my Engineering Course are allowed to work on FRC during class.

My alma mater met Monday-Friday 5-9 and Saturday 11-6. We continued this schedule after Stop Build Day.

Many times we would stay much later than the scheduled times as well.
