Re: Hours

Team 1836:

Mon.-Thu. 3:30-7:30
Sun. 10-5

Of course this is is never enough because my team is tiny...five of us are pulling almost all the weight, and we are all either current or recently graduated high school students. We have no professional mentors and our teacher only does the administrative stuff, so we have to make every hour count...

I feel your pain. In 2006 we had maybe three or four people consistently working on the robot. In 2007 that grew by like, three. I'm pretty sure we didn't have mentors very often if at all in '07. '08 and '09 though, we've got a lot of people (this year especially) and mentors that can be here almost every day... and it's a world of difference. The workload per person is lighter (which is nice) and we can be more precise, even.

Doesn't mean we're any better, honestly (our best season so far wasn't our most precise. In fact, the season before (which was, until 2007, our best season so far) was horrible... hardly nothing matched perfectly, about half the bot was built in the pit with a jigsaw and some other hand tools, etc). Just means it's easier.

Re: Hours

We don't really have set times. We work every day, usually for 6-8+ hours.

No wonder the poofs rock, they must never sleep!

We do M-Th 4:30 to 7:30 and Saturday 8am to 2pm. Students are required to attend all of the 1st week, and the 2 days + Saturday after Week 1. These are the base hours and of course enough time to get it done will be spent.

Re: Hours

For the first few weeks, our schedule is generally 2:30-5 Monday-Wednesday, 2:30-9 Friday, 8am-3pm Saturday. This generally changes after week 4, to allow more build time.

Re: Hours

tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday:
3PM-8PM
and we do stuff at home.
I think it's not enough, although I already lost track of my life.
I guess that as the shipment day will get closer - we will spend a lot more hours in school.
As rookies we'll find out if that is a good strategy... in the end ><.
Now we mainly focus on translating the manuel to Hebrew - the final version will sound horrible... we already said we are doing crimes against the English language ><.
