Re: How long does your team plan?

I'm remarkably surprised by the number of folks who've written something akin to, "We design the robot on Tuesday."

I can't believe that any single team can appreciably design an entire robot over the course of a single day. I'm interpreting those statements to be something more like, "We draw boxes on a whiteboard," or "We make it up as we go along."

How long does it take for the folks who design everything in advance to work through the whole robot? If I work on nothing else, it takes me about four days to a design solidified enough to move onward to production.

Maybe I just don't have the nerve to fly by the seat of my pants and design things as we go along.
