What is the time commitment if I am on the team?

If you are on the team, you are expected to be an active participant.  Time commitments fall into three categories.

1. Pre-season - End of August (start of school) though mid January. We meet every Thursday afternoon for 3.5 hours (2:00 - 5:30).  During this time we are fundraising, doing outreach, training members, producing media and publicizing our team. Some additional work may be done remotely, especially from business team members.
2. Build Season - Mid January through April. We meet Wed - Fri (2:00 - ~8:00) and some weekends.  The pressure is on, we have a robot to design and build in 6 weeks.  
3. Post Season - May through August. We meet most Thursdays from 2:00 - 4:00 with the flexibility in attendance for summer travel.  We do some outreach, fundraising, recruiting and team restructuring as we lose our seniors and gain new members. 

Members who stop showing up consistently will be dropped from the team.
