Dilema...

[Gamer930]

We also have finals. It normally happens the second week of build. We have a "The shop is closed for finals week" rule. This allows us to stay some what concerted on Finals and not robots.

What we do is quickly come up with what functions want to do. We break up into different groups and do designs and everyone has to have their Bill of Materials in the Sunday of Finals week. A mentor then orders all the parts on Monday and we have the parts Thursday-Friday and start to build on the Saturday. It really never has been a huge problem.

Most of the kids on our team puts in about 120 hours in during the 6 week build period. We do officially 6-9 Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday and 8-4 on Saturday. Toward the end or if we feel behind yes we put in longer hours or extra days.
