How long?

[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.

[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.

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.

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!
