Q: So I just have a quick question. What sort of time commitment do you think the project will take? Is it much time outside of the decal? Just curious:)
A: In the beginning we do not really do much (I would say an hour max per week for the first 2-4 weeks). As we get our construction materials and we have a design brainstormed, we may spend up to 2 hours per week in the lab for construction. These sessions are loosely optional and you don’t have to stay the entire time, but they are where things get done and where we coordinate our teamwork efforts. After about the first 4 weeks, we’ll be moving from meeting in Davis to our workspace in O’Brien for construction. There are also a few optional lab times, but that is still TBD. Passing the decal is mainly about effort and commitment (if you choose to register for the decal) and a short paper in the end. The decal is basically about the competition, so the decal time is team time.)
