Re: Limits on Team Hours

Most of our members don't log anywhere near 200+ hours in the build season, but our captains and core members are typically around 200 or so hours. I know I logged over 200 hours this season, all while taking university courses and commuting between home, the university, and robotics. I didn't miss a single build time (although I had to leave early a couple times) and my grades stayed the same.

It's definitely manageable to log a lot of hours, but I understand why the school might want to set a limit. 500 hours in 6 weeks averages almost 12 hours per day. When you factor in (approximately) 6-7 hours for school 5 days per week, that leaves only 5-6 hours for homework, sleeping, and everything else. It's awesome that there are people who are this committed to robotics, but at that point, I would start worrying about their health.
