Hours spent so far....

[Arkorobotics]

The correct question to ask is, how many hours of sleep have I lost?

[clean399]

Kickoff was an all niter for about four of us so myself I have pulled about 40 hours since kickoff and lost lots of sleep. Well all I have to say is it's for a good cause so what's wrong with a little sacrifice. well to bed now for a little of sleep before I jump back on it.

Well, kickoff was 4 hours
Then after kickoff was 5 hours, i.e. crazy argument about strategy.
After the official meeting was my electronics team design session, about 4 hours.
Sunday was 5 hours.
So total about 18 hours, not counting all those time I'm on CD.

We locked ourselves in a broom closet only emerging for bathroom breaks, food, and, of course, cases of mountain dew when our supply runs out.

Similarly to Zoheb. Our team (118) meets for kickoff at UHCL and than we got to know each other afterwards for a few hours. Than sunday we spent 5 hours on functions of the bot and I have done about 6 hours of work researching designs + parts we can use and around 3-4 hours (cause i couldn't sleep) on the website....

haha 118! great job last year at Texas! it sucks we broke down in the last match of the finals. -_- what regional are you guys going to this year?

[Joe G.]

about 5 hours as a team, about 48 hours brainstorming individually

[Dan Petrovic]

Kickoff started at 9:00 AM, BAE showed a video to our team then they watched the feed. Go back to the high school and discuss until 6:00 PM. Following day start at 12:00 end at 6:00 PM. Last night we were at the school until 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM.

That would be a total of 18 hours (assuming kickoff ended at 12:00, I wasn't paying attention to the time at that point).

In the first couple of weeks we spend 6 hours on Sundays 3 hours on weekdays and 9 hours on Saturdays. That's 30 hours a week. The days get longer towards the end of build season.
