What do you do for food?

[fred]

this year, we are planning on having meetings from 3-8 for much of the build season (finally, another excuse not to do homework), most of the time, we just sort of pool our money, a store near us does pizzas that will feed about 4 people for only 5 dollars each, so if we do that, we shouldn't have to end up paying too much. sometimes people just bring in food as well.

My team used to work non-stop so..


we hooked up a glucose solution and fed ourselves via IV to not damage any components (laptops, victors, command interfaces, etc.)

We had one person dedicated to rationing out the sugar and mixing the soluition (in huge gallon-drum barrels)... You'd be surprised at how quickly a 50 lb bag can run out.

My team meets from 5:30-9:30 weeknights; 9-5 Saturday; and 1-5 Sunday

There are 24 students on the team and a parent volunteers for each weeknight to feed us --- with mentors it is close to 40. We have a set dinner time of 6 and it has been a good bonding period for the team.

For weekends we have 2 refridgerators and a microwave and leftovers from the week. Or we will send someone out to get something.

We drink a lot of soda. Last year we had 6 full garbage bags of crushed cans. We are trying to wean back on to water though and there is a endless supply. We actually have a food section to our shop.

Last few years it was basically free-for-all....Now were smarter, everyone was/is required to pay a $5 Team Entry Fee, which goes towards pizza. Also, a bunch of us work at various pizza places around town, so that helps too. Oh, and Ramen noodles.....so many times have they have saved us from certain hungryness

jk about the post earlier. Normally, parents take turns bringing meals to us at the shop. If students need food before about 6:30 - 7:00pm, then we normally go on a jack in the box run or something.

Awwwww.... You guys have fridges and microwaves? last year all we had was a mini-fridge..... No microwaves....

Maybe FIRST will give out microwaves and fridges for winning this year.... XD
