I completely understand your point, but your case does not apply to the all teams. Many teams have a lot of mentors, parents, teachers, engineers that can split the time up.

I am in a similar situation as you, we are a very small team (1 teacher and 2 main engineers with ~20 students) if one of us can't put the time in the others show up. We do the best we can for the students, and that is what they get.

Some teams can get the students more involved and have them help run the team. I don't beleive the learning time of students should be limited/restricted by the team that has the least amount of help to work on the robot.

I am more willing to work with the students for more months and put in less time per day. Work all day and night for 6 weeks is what kills you. Over the years we have become good at limiting our time per day, but meet every day. We used to meet 3 days a week for longer times and that was harder to me. We average 3 hours a day of student work time. In the 7 years that I have been doing this, that is what has worked for us the last 2 years.

Cheers
