Typically week days are 7 - 10, allowing our mentors to get home and have some family time before greeting the build team. In the past we've taken one evening (Friday) off. Saturday and Sunday can be longer days as necessary - 11 - 5 or so.

The main thing we have seen to make a busy build season actually work, is to have different sub-teams working on different nights. Then, all team members have time for school work and other demands, mentors have time to grocery shop and do laundry, and the robot still gets built.

We formally schedule 30 hours/week of meeting time for the team during build season. This tends to expand towards the end of the season.

Most students do not attend every meeting (school work comes first), but some people (such as CAD designers, programmers and media folks) put in a significant number of off-meeting hours.
