That is unless we manage to move the final

Well, I think it'll be hard to move a final, but I would recommend you to try to come up with some sort of schedule that doesn't compromise your school work. You, along with everyone in your team must find a way to balance their school work with the amount of work that you have to dedicate to FIRST and building the robot. Make sure that you specify that to them that way, they are prepared for it when the time comes.

Good Luck!! And AGAIN: WELCOME TO FIRST!!

Well we're not really in FIRST yet, you may have won me over but I have a class full of sceptics...
Moving a final really isn't that hard actually, the school system here is very different than in the USA as far as I can gather, but I think I'm getting ahead of myself, enough research/learning 3d programs/looking at robot pics for today, I'm getting my hopes up a bit too high.

Going back to the time thing...

At 1293 last year, we met Tuesday nights 6-8 PM (ish), then Saturdays from about 9 to 5. The week of shipping, we did have a few later nights, but we were normally out by 10:00 PM (after starting around 4:00).

Would more time be useful? Probably. Would more time be necessary for the completion of the robot? Doubtful.
