Do you track work hours?

We keep track of hours, but it doesnt do much. To go to florida you must have put in 45hours minimum over the 6 week build period. Seeing that i came out of it with 130 charted hours...

This year we kept track of hours in log books, and students had to have 80% of official team hours to go to Epcot. I think official team hours from October through ship day was somewhere around 200.

Next year we plan to use a program to keep track of hours so the team captain doesn't have to get all the log books and add up all the hours.

Even though engineers didn't have to keep track of hours, I wanted to know how many hours I was putting in, and I had about 250 hours by ship day, and of course lots more after regionals, Epcot, and preparing photos for the web.
