Go to Post How the mentors of a team inspire their team is unimportant, as long as the team is inspired to do great things. We on 1824 believe in 'student designed, student built', but that does not mean that all teams should do as we do. For inspiration comes in many forms. - Daniel_LaFleur [more]

Re: What would you do if build were longer?

If build season were longer, students would turn into zombies (think of how they are now, and multiply that by the newest rookie team number).

But honestly, I think with a longer build would come higher expectations. With more time for you to work on your robot, the more potential you have to fix the bugs, tweak what can be tweaked, and practice until perfected. The words "finished robot", will not be used during build season if you are doing it right. I'd expect teams to challenge themselves more but at the same time manage their time wisely and get more sleep and study.

edit:
[ For the record, not saying I believe it should or shouldn't be longer than it is now.]
