We don't... thank the lord.

On average, 237 has to pay $1,000+ for the 2 weekends that we work.

Why?, thats a very good question. Watertown High School does not see the point in our "club". The sport teams fought with the school about us calling our selfs a team, so we have to call it a club. We receive no funding from the school and they then take money from us to fill their budget problems. I guess you can call it robbery, but we have to deal in order to participate in FIRST.

We have to pay to use our school on weekends.. so.. ya know.. that's why we don't use it that often.

But, other clubs and activities don't have to pay... so...

Wow.

We meet from 6:45-9 on Mon-Thurs, and 1-5 on Sat/Sun.

[Bcahn836]

School nights from 6:00 Pm until 8:00 (in the last few weeks it will be whenever we finish or the janitors kick us out)
Weekends and or holidays 9:00 am until whenever (usually around 3:00 pm or when ever we finish)

[Jay H 237]

Team 237 meets Monday thru Friday starting at 4pm until 8pm at the high school our team is based out of, Watertown High. The only time we meet at the school on a weekend is usually the last weekend before the robot ships to finish up any loose ends. We try not to meet on weekends because we're required to pay for custodial coverage on weekends, but if we do we usually do all day, 8 or 9 in the morning until 5 or so.
If we know the school will be closed because of weather or a holiday we meet at one of our sponsors shops. We only ask the mechanical and electrical people to show up and whatever stuff we need or is being worked on we take the night before from the school.
We don't have a dedicated room at the school. We use the woodshop, metalshop, graphic arts, home ec, electronics room, and the cafeteria. The rooms aren't all next to each other but they are all in the same wing of the building so it isn't too bad. The main problem is since these rooms are used during the regular school day we have to drag everything out at the beginning of the meetings and then pack up again near the end. We also clean up any rooms and machinery we use.

[CyberWolf_22]

The Cyber Wolf Corps meets Mon-Wed-Fri from starting about 4 and ending from 7 to 9. On Tue and Thur we normally have shorter days because our mentor teach a college class those days so we normally only stay till about 6 or 7. We also meet most Saturdays and some Sundays from about 9 in the morning till about 6 at night. The reason we meet so long is that we really don't have a lot team members so we have to spend a lot more time on the robot.

[KTorak]

M-F: After school to 5pmish or later.
Sat: 12 to 5pmish or later.

When I did FLL, we spent many nights there to 11 pm and developed a very good relationship with the janitorial staff.

All our meetings get posted on our website at: http://www.bedfordexpress.com/calendar.php

[Mohsin]

Team 772 usually meets after school till 6 or sometimes 8. Though some time wwe stay longer on Fridays. we really dont meet on the weekends. The Teacher cant make it , so anyway, we end up staying later, and later, as the 6 weeks of building goes on . yep. but it really depends on if you can and when u can

[Sscamatt]

We meet:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - 6pm-9pm (maybe a little later)
Thursday - right after school until like 5-6ish
Friday-5pm-9pm
Saturday-9am-12pm

Times will increase once we start building the actual bot, we get kicked out by janitors and would have to pay for them to stay later so it kinda sucks.

[roboticsguy1988]

Our Team usually meets from either 4:00 to 8:00 or 5:00 to 9:00 Monday - Friday. And on the weekends, Saturdays are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sundays are 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. We have all of our meeting dates and times on the calendar at our website, www.teamthrust.us.

[Hafize]

We meet Monday to Friday from 3:30 to 10 or 11

We meet at our mentor's auto shop and their is about 8 members that come out but when it starts to get late there is about 3 members left.
