I honestly donā€™t see how people can spend so much time devoted to robotics. Itā€™s really saddening, but in a sense itā€™s devotion. Itā€™s great to spend so much time on robotics, but iā€™d much rather be a balanced person. I mean, yeah itā€™s fun, and yeah thereā€™s cool stuff to do, but most other people have many other priorities going on in their lifeā€“at least i hope so

Our team works like this:
Weekdays: 5pm - 9pm
Saturdays: 8am - 5pm

28 hours a week.

I orignally thought that 28 hours a week is quite a lot, but now as I look at the poll, it looks like a lot more people work a lot longer. 28 hours a week is a huge commitment to everyone on the team. Most of them donā€™t all 28 and only a few dedicated members are always there. Perhaps for us, working on Sundays might be a viable solution to the time crunch that we have every year. I would really like to know what are the schedules of those who work more than 40 hours a week?

From kick-off until today we (team 1538) have been working/designing/building our bot for about 9 hours a dayā€¦ including 9 hours on weekends :slight_smile:

sop about 54 hours a weekā€¦ and that doesnā€™t include thinking about the bot.

last night i thought about how our conveyorbelt was going to look like. IN MY SLEEP. so yea ā€¦ if you could count sleeping hours as thinking about the bot. then 1538 has about 54 hours a week / 108 hours

I was reading Grishamā€™s The Broker just before bed last night. The book contains a bunch of CIA/NSA/EIEIO spy stuff. What did I dream last night? That I had been arrested and detained in a CIA interrogation facility. What did they want to know? How our poof ball shooter worked, and how did we manage to elegantly integrate the loader with the shooter. I need a breakā€¦
