Mentor/Engineers - Robotics vs. Work Balance

[Scott Wolfe]

This question is for team mentors and engineers: How much does robotics, particularly during the build season, push into your daily work schedule? (ie. how many hours at work a week is devoted to robotics during work hours, not including after hours time). In conjunction with this, what level of support do you see from your direct management as well as upper management and or principals.

I think this would be great information for all of us to share with our management as well as share with schools and businesses looking to start or have started a new team. Thanks!

PS I would especially like to hear from some of the older teams that have been around a while with the program being well rooted in your organization.
