how often does your team meet during build season?

[IndySam]

The first weeks are design and prototyping and the real building doesn't start until week three or four.

The first two or three weeks are Mon-Thurs 6:00-9:00 (but our brains are working a lot longer.) After that we will also meet on Saturdays and depending on how it's going we will throw in a Sunday or two.

We will absolutely work the last Saturday and Sunday and as long as we can on Monday before ship (hopefully just practicing.)

Build, we meet every weekday, 3-6PM (give or take an hour), and Saturdays 9-4 (9-9 when it gets to crunch time).

During the design process, we have around 3-4 meetings a week. When building starts, we basically meet everyday of the week, from 7 up to midnight (although most people leave by 10 ish). On weekdays, only about 4 people come to work a day. There have been Fridays when I worked at a machine shop from 4-11 at night (free pizza for dinner though).

We don't really have set hours.

Mentors usually show up between noon and two on weekdays. Kids show up between two and three. We work until 7-8:00 or later pretty much every day. Fridays we stay till 9 or 10, often.

Weekends we usually get there around 10-12, and work till 8-10. Sometimes later.

When it gets down to crunch time, we're pretty much there nonstop. Last year I slept in our lab from Thursday through Tuesday.

In 2006 we tried to take Sundays off at first. It didn't really work. We got behind and started working Sundays anyways.

We didn't take any days off that I can remember... Super Bowl Sunday, Valentine's Day... all fair game (unfortunately)
