How long?

[artdutra04]

I've been at a Team 190 meeting for more than five hours now, and it looks like it's going to continue to go on for quite a long time...

What fun is the build season if you don't pull at least one all-nighter?

[jakflyer]

umm.... apparantly we dont dont do enough work...
we've been staying at school until about 8ish on tuesdays and thursdays and were meeting saturday from like 9 to 1 i think.... then we are also there every day after school till about 5 or 6
and we all skip sports cuz robotics and sports kinda dont mix

[Evert]

everyday after school til 5:30
Saturdays 11AM to 4PM
and at the end, Sundays and all day during the week

[whytheheckme]

We go from 1:45-8:00 two days a week, 2:30-8:00 three days a week, 9:00-5:00 on saturdays and sundays.

How are you done with school at 1:45? So lucky...

We go from 3:30-6 MTW, 3:30 till 7 or 9 (depending on if someone has an event that night so we can mooch their security time) on fridays, 9-5 saturdays. Of course i wish it was 24/7, but supposedly we need "sleep" - a concept i am completely unfamiliar with :-P

Two days a week, the last 45 minutes of school are occupied by a "club" block. Our robotics team simply pulls our team together during this time period.

that's not fair, why can't all schools do that, we have to go til 2:20 every day, no matter what.

[GUI]

Our school gets out at 1:50 every day but tuesday, when we get out at 1:00. So our meetings so for have lasted about 4.5 hours on average.

[waiakea11]

we stay as long as our mentor's wife will let us stay...on weekdays we go no later then 10. on saturdays we go from 9 am till whenever we are done...on sundays we take a day off for homework.

[jokingly="yes"] Psssshhh! Please, even the most relaxed of schedules in FIRST make us burned out! [/jokingly]

Seriously, that is a concern for some students that also work, have religious commitments, other sports [HA!] or whatnot. Learn your limit, and if you start to get really behind in everything, let your mentor know. I'm sure they'll understand.

[Kingsmen]

We meet every weekday 5:30 to around 10 to 11 and on saturdays 8 to 4ish and we get the day off on Sunday

It varies, but I've been in our lab for no fewer than 8, and up to 14 hours per day since kickoff.
