It is, or is it? and that is what this discussion is about. (and you forgot those 18 hour weekends) In a four month period can you do 400 hours? I'll speak to my case of working, being a VEX mentor and being an FRC mentor. The time commitment is huge. I spend a good 1/4 of my time in emails, ordering parts and doing updates to the web site to keep people informed. And in some ways it matches what happens on a big project launch. So I spend 'spare time' doing robot team stuff.
While this thread has meandered through many good topics throughout its 80 posts, it's important to remember the original context. From the very first post:

Putting in 400 hours of work over 6 weeks is 2.5x more time per week then 400 hours over 4 months. It was also specified as being in lab time, so you can presume that there was more time spent out of lab. Lastly, it was specified as student(s). Presumably, less people need to worry about your workload then a student.

Given the constraints of the original poster, I find those hours to be excessive, like the person you quoted. Changing the constraints to the way you stated them is much more reasonable, but isn't what we were asked to consider.
