 "FIRST is not about getting as little help as possible - In fact, it's the opposite- the goal is have to make you feel obligated to thank as many people as possible for helping you in ways that you didn't really think you needed or even considered that you could use help." - boomergeek [more] |

Re: Limits on Team Hours
Time off from the shop is not a bad thing. AT ALL.
Every year, some of our most unsolvable technical problems get solved while I am at the store, talking on the phone or online one-on-one with other mentors or students, or in the shower (which, I'm convinced, is where Einstein must have figured out general relativity). Al posted our schedule, and though we certainly add to it as the deadline nears, having scheduled days off forces you to gather your thoughts. You can walk into your shop the next day with a plan and you can use those hours 3x more effectively than you would have otherwise. Sometimes stepping away from the machine (whether to do some CAD designing or just to spend time with your wife) is the right answer.
