how often does your team meet during build season?

We just stay. The janitors don't really come by to kick us out or anything, and the administration is relatively understanding. We have a set of keys to the workshop so we just lock up whenever we leave. Normally our slots are scheduled only as late as 9pm, but if we run a few hours over, nobody's there to notice or care.

Except, actually, the local police force, which has dropped in on a couple late-night work sessions. We assume they just stop by to see why the lights are still on, and to make sure everything's all right. In the past they've usually been perplexed by the robot-building but have apparently decided that we're harmless.
