Re: What do you do when its time to take a break from building??

Break from building? Except for having to go home, the rare working tea break, pizza or setting part of the garage/robot on fire... That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

EDIT: Oh, and there's a strange thing called school which gets in the way a lot too...

We play hockey and dodgeball on our field at randomly designated "break" times.

Re: What do you do when its time to take a break from building??

we're not allowed to take breaks unless its eating the food parents provide for us on wednesdays after our meetings or weekends for full work days so we sneak out and grab one of the old soccer balls we used for OCCRA and go to our back field and play soccer. or we drive around and hang out and then get yelled at when we come back.

Re: What do you do when its time to take a break from building??

we only break when the teachers tell us to go home, and even then some of us manage to keep working with one of them for at least an hour, on a good day... lunch ... dinner ... breakfast (on sat and other school off days) ... testing parts of the robot can cause everyone to come and watch, but that's about it.

we only get two hours after school, and from 9 to 3 on Saturdays. how long do yall work?

Re: What do you do when its time to take a break from building??

so far from what I've figured, breaks for us is to just go eat at lunch and dinner time then back to work and at the end of the build day where the teacher tells us "go home" some of always say "almost done, almost done, few more minutes".
