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

[Cory]

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

It seems as though 766 doesn't meet that much. We meet Fridays and Wednesdays from 5:00pm-9:00pm, Saturdays 9:00am-5:00pm. On the last (luckily four day) weekend before Ship Date, we stay pretty much around the clock. And of course, we stand around in the hallways after school debating mecanum vs. omni vs. traditional six-wheel tank drives until we are all tossed out by the hall monitors. Then we proceed to debate somewhere else on campus, hoping we don't get tossed off altogether. So far we haven't been!
